No more rice, you see that button to the right of the quote icon in each and every post? That's the multi quote button. You click that on EACH POST you want to quote, then at the bottom of the page on the left you click "post reply" which will bring you to a page with each individual post quoted in a response box. This will prevent you from having to make three posts in a row.

Garret, I don't think Rich got any in car footage, but Ryan got some of the action from the sidelines. I have a little helmet cam, front bumper cam footage from my sessions, but none with Rich.

Started running WG spring w/the boost controller off but in later sessions ran low boost (15 psi) to gain some oomph on the straights and also a big increase in boost response.
.....good opportunity to test out the hot lap just bought...

I'd love to see this car take on a newer Porsche GT3 at the track, it would be very interesting match-up. ~430 rwhp must be quite a handful on track in an FD if you're pushing hard in the corners. On a side note, it's almost too clean and shiny to be a track dog, most of these guys who race frequently have a track car and a street car, for obvious reasons, and it gets incredibly expensive real quick (a good reason to stick with bikes in my book).

Just had a trackday at Monticello Raceway (a long 4.1 mile course) with the Trackacardia group that was started by Jon Schroeder, one of our fellow members. Had four 30+ minute sessions. I changed to fresh synth oil, and completely flushed my brake fluid with Endless RF650. Also installed new Racing Brake ET700 front pads.
We had 6 FDs there, four of them on the track..... Dan/Scrub, Pete, and Rick/Zumspd all tracked our cars, and my brother and Damari came with their FDs to support us.
The car performed very well during the day, I was in the intermediate run group and passed about fifteen other cars, mainly american iron. mid 90s Mustang Cobra, a few C5 corvettes, a few M3s, many audis, many v-dubs. Cornering felt great w/the new sway bars, and I saw speeds of up to 140ish mph on the back straight. In particular I had a C63 AMG Merc chasing me down the back straight and I left him behind with ease.
Many other drivers there commented on the large bursts of flame and how great the exhaust sounded. Nice to hear from non-rotary people

The cooling system on the car performed tremendously, ambient temps were in the mid to upper 60s. Coolant stayed around 87 to 90 C and only peaked once at 92 C. Peak oil temps for the day were 195F.

Looks like you had a blast. That photo of your FD = my desktop background.

Stitch was banned from my car for the track session (not sure why) so he wondered around the pit area, mostly Molesting Rich and his car.
Rich, is your helmet on fire?!?! Now that's fast!
