Things that are done

-Stupid tire smoking power
-Hang you in your belt brakes
-Tuned JRI shocks to optimize grip
-Spring bar balance
-No leaks

Thing that need work

-Bleed brakes again. All new systems are hard to bleed
-I over acheived on oil cooling need to rework to get temp in the oil
-Nut and bolt the car and look for broken stuff
-Get the rubber and brake dust out of the wheel wells

We ran about 25 laps very hard. We had a few issues due to a brand new car

-One loose accy bolt on the engine
-Some loose wires that coused a ABS falt and 4 flat spotted tires

On a simular test day with Red Devil we are 2 seconds a lap faster. Mayhem has so much power you can hear the tires spinning in 4th gear going down the back straigh due to track being rough. I think we have hit my power limit for 200 treadwear tires on a 40 degree day...

Also a bunch of great guys came out to the track to play. So it was a great day to test car and hang out with some othe Lat-G member. They also kicked in to help me pay for the track. Thanks Guys.

Well back to the shop. The car ships in a week and a half.
