WV Track day @ Summit Point WV 5/18-19 (Shenandoah Circuit)

Both me and ArmitageGVR4 are signed up for the Trackdaze event on May 18 and/or 19th.

Just curious if anyone else wanted to come out.

Here is the info:
https://www.trackdaze.com/index.php/...henandoah-2013

For some reason I can't find the list of people who are signed up anymore, but a few people said they wanted to come out.

-Mike

Just checked and it's now completely sold out with a waiting list.

Hope some other people come to watch/hang out.

Getting close. Car is 95% ready. Weather is looking pretty good. I will probably head up Friday evening for tech and camp in the paddock all weekend unless they're calling for severe storms.

Heh I'm still rocking street tires because I have to drive to/from events on what I run. Some day I'll live somewhere that I can have a trailer.

NT01s are my current street tires >_>

I'm a little worried about the rain in the forecast for this weekend....

Only calling for 30% chance of showers. I'll take it. Better than 100% of downpours all weekend It always rains at Summit in the spring. Last year there was a t-storm downpour that caused a flash flood and the paddock was more than ankle deep in water within a minute. Good times.

Also better than cicadas

I'll probably bring my visor just in case...

Speaking of visor, that reminds me I need to clean my helmet. At Watkins Glen a few weeks ago I raced an open cockpit car for the first time... w/no windshield and an oil leak. Nothing like engine oil mist all over your helmet :|

It started acting very strange and randomly running lean (possibly dying fuel pump?)

I was dumb and didn't get off the track quick enough... 1 too many lean spikes later the car runs like crap and is super loud.

it's not 100% yet, I haven't really looked into it yet, I'll compression test it tonight and go from there. I may have just cracked a exhaust manifold or something.

any S5 TII kegs?

I dont know about S5, but I think I know of 2 people with TII kegs. I'll see one guy on Friday and ask. I'll PM the other guy.

Great weekend! Glad the rain held off and we had dry laps both days. I'll try and go through my video and edit it down later this week. I have some good footage of both of your cars I think.

Sorry to hear about your motor Mike; let's hope it's less serious than you initially thought.

Happy to report the new turbos are working perfectly and I had no mechanical issues of any kind all weekend. The Z2s are easily 3 seconds a lap faster than my old 615s based on a handful of laps I grabbed from the camera last night and I didn't really experiment with adjusting the pressures at all yet. My upper body is still sore from wrangling the car through the karussel with no power steering
