Had a great day at the track yesterday. Went out on a completely untested setup with new brakes, new shocks and new steering geometry and the car was balanced and driveable right away. the only thing I tuned on during my 4 runs was rear brake bias, started out with too much, took WAY too much out then slowly put it back in after each of the last 2 runs finally getting it pretty close.

Times were good enough for 13th in PAX out of 175 drivers, 15th in overall raw time. I was VERY pleased. The carb issues seem to be taken care of as well (thanks Bob).

Here's the video of my fastest run, what a fun course!! We ran this EXACT same course at this event last year and my times were about 1 full second faster this year over last. That tells me that both the car and the driver just keep getting better.



Great picture captured exiting the final corner on the final run of the day...

Ended up 6 tenths off of Keith in his National Championship winning 2011 Camaro on 335s square with my 32 year old G body on 275s... Pretty dang happy with that.

Now it's off to Phoenix in a week or so to start a new chapter of life. Can't wait to get my feet wet in a new racing environment. Hope to fly back in and co-drive with my KC racing friends whenever I can though, gonna miss the racing camaraderie we've developed here over the years. Also hope they'll come out to the PHX and co-drive Barney with me out there when they are down for the season here.
