Funny!

Two-thumbs up for living life to the fullest. What a great plan to drive yourselves silly and hang out with like-minded maniacs. You are making memories that 99.9% of people can only fantasize about

That is hard to believe Brian; don't make this one at the last minute like VIR. Although I am thrown between the Pirelli UTCC time trials vs. this one in July, but meeting these nuts somehow seems much more attractive, especially after they are drugged.

Let's just say we are likely a create a story per stop, some intended, some are just forced upon us


We just bought a couple of dozen RA1 335 shaved 5/32nds today. I think we have the market firmly cornered

It's a struggle. We have a 3 day Potomac PCA event at Summit Point 15-17. And I heading to the Glen on the 29th-31st.

I witnessed a brief moment on Manaction I and "attractive" isn't the word I would use to describe. Worn out, hung over and dirty seems more appropriate....that's why I am frustrated I can't join them.

I am making the switch to 18"! I've been running 19" and can't take the lack of tire options anymore.

Quick update

- We registered and paid for all the events and booked most hotel nights:
Autobahn Country Club July 9+10
Road America PCA 11+12
Mosport 14
Mid Ohio 15-16-17
Watkins Glen 18+19

- We're both getting the PFC dimpled front rotors and we will have 3 sets of worn front OEM rotors and 1 set of OEM rear rotors with us as spares.

- Running PFC08 pads and we will take 1 extra set each with us, they won't last 10 days. We will see how far they go. I am adding front brake ducts next week, but I don't think they are really needed at those tracks. Nothing Like Sebring PBIR and Homestead. I think the brake parts manufacturers designed these brake killer tracks down here

- Cars are both Dyno'd for the fun of it, bit Dyno'ed at about 420HP, so that looks good as well.

- Tires: Toyo 18" RA1 245F and 335R. We each will have 2 sets mounted on rims and we will have about 6 rears and 2 fronts each to mount.

I hope there is still room for a beer cooler

Both cars' allignment is the same, the only difference will be the LSD and brake ducts that I have, but Izzone is thinking about doing that as well.

I did a mini-mancation last week! No comparision to Peter's trip but....

Drove Watkins Glen Wednesday. About 4 1/2 hour drive to WG. I drove up and back in less than 24hours. Interesting twist on the day when we ran the short/Nascar track from 3-4:30pm. That was cool.

Also, drove NJMP Thunderbolt on Saturday. A little over a 2 hour drive. Drove up at 5am, tracked 5-25 minutes sessions and was home in time for dinner with neighbors. This was a NJMP member day which was very enjoyable. I attended as a guest. They served breakfast and lunch which were terrific and the atmosphere was welcoming and laid back.

I changed the aero by adding the GT2RS front splitter and wing lip. Also, added more front spring and a turbo tweak. I used these two days to test the changes. Unfortantely, I need more testing! Car feels much different and was hard to read. My confidence was shaken and I couldn't get a handle on why the car felt bad. I made a sway bar change didn't do much to improve things. It was some of the worst and least comfortable driving I can recall ever experiencing and it was due to my inability to understand the chassis.

Back to Mancation II - You guys are going to love Watkins Glen! This was my 3rd time there and 1st time back since the first weekend in August. It's awesome!

Only the front springs, not rears?
