The times came out today from Saturday's event.

I predicted that I would be lucky to come within 2 seconds of a well driven Miata. Turns out one of the best was there with his 99 sport and I came within .9 seconds of him. With some more fine tuning and if I can get my brakes working well, I may be able to beat him and if I do that will be cause for celebration.

Next time I am going to try XPrepared.

Today we put in the check valve which seemed to help some but the brakes are still weak. We also disconnected the front sway bar. I will be interested to see how that works on course. It seemed ok driving on the local roads.

On the way back from my Indies a full grown deer jumped out of the woods in front of me. Thinking it would be bad to hit it or have it jump in the car I stopped. Luckily it jumped back into the woods and not into my Cobra.
