Rev limiter installed, alignment set to 9.5 deg caster, -2.25 camber, 1/16 toe out. Oil changed and registration in hand. Can't wait for Good Guys Pleasanton this weekend. See you all bright and early on Saturday ready to run.

Cant wait to hear (and see videos) how this works out this weekend.

Thanks guys. I hope I have better luck this weekend with the gopro. At the last goodguys I got a couple of really good videos of diving in the pits, but no racing. I was out of sinc with my remote and stopped recording right when I got to the line. I also need to change the back cover to get some better sound.

I got a nice shady spot in the pits and some good GoPro videos.

Everything fell together in the afternoon. The car was working well, and I was doing my best driving to date. This is hands down the tightest coarse I have ever driven, and it has a drainage dip in the middle (that you cross 3 times and then brake through after the finish). It scared off a lot of competitors early on so I ended up getting about 10 runs. I will post some videos tomorrow or Monday, but I don't want to share my lines just yet as I am currently sitting in first place in Street Machine and .020 seconds ahead of Mike Maier overall! Maier only drove in the afternoon so he will only get faster tomorrow. There are also some other great drivers and fast cars in SM so it is still anyone's race. I am super excited as this is the first time I am even in the top ten yet alone sitting with the fastest overall time.

The course layout was horrible, and having it where they did forced everyone into the little shaded area. Pleasanton GG needs to get their sh!t together. seen your car in the pits but you were no where near, looking good. congrats on 1st place, so far.

Personally -- I think this is THE MOST INTERESTING build on Lat G.... I absolutely love that you are using this build to improve not only the car - but also your chosen profession.

I'm going to have to make a plan to get to GG's Pleasanton just to meet you and see your car. I used to go all the time -- then gave it up for doing other shows etc... but I have to get back down there.

It's official. First place in Street Machine. Unreal!

Greg,

Thanks, I thought you were the most interesting guy on Lat G. I envy your shop. I thought about asking if you had any single sisters (after seeing that build you did with your brother-in-law), but then I remembered that I love my wife.

If you come out to Pleasanton, just make sure it is not in August as they do not run an AutoX so I skip that show.
