I have been very happy with all the changes, the first day on the track I was nervous at Scottsdale, and the guys over at MSD actually came to the car and hooked up Janey on there lap-top to clean up or make sure the ignition programs was working great, they moved the grounds and tested the outputs, and shes a happy Jane now, the suspension is very good I am trying to squeeze more out of her so even now (Monday) I'm heading to Crosbys shop to change a few more things!, and with the carbon panels added to her, I weighed her at the Ridetech booth and shes just over 3200lbs, not bad for a rain or shine daily driven girl with radio, heater and dynamat on floor, doors and roof grocery getter

Can you get a copy of before and after alignment and corner weight readings please? Cros wouldn't have access to a chassis dyno would he?

Well this was the last November Del Mar for goodguys, now the end of season will be scottdale AZ, we arrived thursday night and set up camp for Friday racing and come friday morning it looked like this



and by the time the rain had stopped at lunch time the track was flooded! heres Chad showing you how flooded, so the day of racing was called off



back to camp on Friday night and of course after the race was called it never rain the rest of the night, so we BBQ-ed told stories and had fun talking about hopes for Saturday



Saturday was dry and everyone was ready to watch some racing


it started slow but as the track got warmer I laid down a few good times to be in first place


then Aaron O. from Hotchkis put down a good few laps and went fast and that stuck me forth and I had one run left


I gave it a good run but I could only squeeze a second spot out


and after it was all done we had camp autocross on Saturday night with great food and friends

cornhole


that was it for the weekend and the end of a good season... sunday were fun runs and a little tuning since it didn't count for us

well 2014 is on us, the racing season is knocking on the door and (if you haven't heard) I started work at Ridetech in Indiana, I am lucky enough to have supportive friends, family and an awesome girlfriend of 14 years at my side (who also races) Right now I'm in the middle of a cyclone of activity, packing to move, working, helping friends, and getting one of my builds to a rolling state to push onto a transport truck....but I still found time to get some pre-season Autocross practice in this weekend in marina California, I was testing a new spring rate on Plain Jane and was happy with the results

out at Marina California for a UFO event (United Five-ten Owners) a very well run group of events all year long



My new racing shoes! I thought I would copy Mike Maier...it works


I tape a layout of the track to my center console, while in the staging lanes I can review areas in the track I had issues with or to contemplate an alternate line (you often have 5 to 10 minutes between runs) at local events


heres drawn map layout
