I haven't exactly been sending photos to magazines begging. Steve said he'll shoot it and I told him there was no hurry. The car isn't going anywhere. The car only gets better and better.

Thanks.... I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon trying out Zaino. It's labor intensive but the car really turned out nice. It's looking just as shiny or shinier than ever. I also had some clear bra installed behind both wheels up to the body line for protection with the R888's. Went out this morning for breakfast and a run around the lake. I haven't had a chance to shoot any decent photos since the wheel change. I need to add a couple loops to my new venting system as you can see. It doesn't seem to leak while running since a vaccum is being pulled on the tank as fuel is consumed. I knocked down 9 miles per gallon city/highway. You can also see the new gbar coilover mount setup. I ended up adding a third bolt for safety and looks.

Here are my two ladies.

No way man....I want my grip and 275's up front. My main goal this weekend is to get a feel for road racing. They are supposed to have some instructors handy for a ride along. If I'm hooked, I'll spend the money on their driving school. You should, it's supposed to be one of the best tracks around.

Its not a question of IF you'll be hooked, you will be. The only problem I forsee is your pretty expensive paint job. You might want to clear bra the hell out of that car if you haven't already. I expect my car to be paintless by the end of next year from so many rock chips at the track. Dick Guldstrand told me that if you're not sliding off the track you're not driving fast enough so be prepared for that as well

Go out and get a bunch of seat time and instruction, its an absolute blast. I'd love to see another pro-touring car actually out at HPDE events ripping it up. I'm a little bit sick of these $100k pro-touring cars 'racing' at 35mph autocross events...

Drive your damn cars folks, thats why we built them like we did

I should have my tremec in by then. Their safety requirements are a bit more than the group I normally run with. Firesuit, neck collar, roll bar? I guess thats because of the class they're forcing you to run in.

I'll keep an eye out for events up that direction. I typically run with Speedventures.

Every time I've gone out, I've invited everyone on both forums, and not once has a single car shown up. Trailer queens

We should have a big block shootout
