I'm now looking forward to a ride in the Camaro :D Wells Fargo allows a bit more room for the car to stretch its legs, should be fun |

I'm curious to see what you think of it. Without Recaros, it's going to be a little messy inside

At least now the Camaro guys know for sure that all factory Recaros come with the heating and cooling to let me do a plug and play someday.

So the NJ Pro was not a very successful event for me. No trophy and pretty mediocre driving. I was off pace for all of Saturday, I looked at data and video and knew I was massively under-driving. I went out on Sunday and picked up a full second on the left side to be within a couple of tenths of the leader. I knew there was a bit more time on that side, but I got a red light and over-drove a bit. The right side... what a poor performance. I was actually pretty decent compared to most of my competitors on the right side through Saturday, but I red lit a decent run. On Sunday I drove like an idiot, I lost 4 tenths in one corner by going too slowly trying to "diamond" the corner which bogged the engine on the exit. I unfortunately never realized what a mistake I was making on the right side finish, I was doing the same "too slow, bogging the engine" stuff because I was staring at the apex cone for too long and not opening up the corner entry to carry a bit more speed. Oh well, lessons learned and on to the next event!
Autocross on the Pocono infield road course on Saturday and Sunday I'm co-driving my dad's Fiesta ST at the PA Farm Show lot. A week off for spectating a rally, then off to Toledo for the Toledo ProSolo! I'm dropping the RS off at the dealer for this Tuesday to finally have my transfer case leak fixed, so I shouldn't have any more little leaks Thankfully the leak was extremely minor, maybe a few drops every few thousand miles, but it made a mess. Here are some pics from the NJ ProSolo Gridded up and ready to rock on Saturday morning: In grid on Sunday morning: Pretty sweet 280Z: I snapped a quick pic of a buddy on course, he just happened to hit a cone |

Yeah, may as well use it, haha. That's the only reason to buy a new car, IMO... |

A fairly successful weekend at Devens, however it was also frustrating... I didn't preregister so it was a race against the clock to show up before 7 PM on Friday. I left work at 12 noon on the dot and arrived at 6:54. CT has some truly horrendous traffic, apparently.
Saturday I had time according to data but after hitting 12+ cones in one incident (in which they only gave me a penalty of 5 cones, kinda disappointed by that ) I just needed a safe clean run. Lymerock didn't manage to put together a clean run but his scratch times were class leading. Sunday I was frustrated because I left 8 tenths on the table according to data. I ran a faster scratch time with two huge mistakes that cost me 0.55 and 0.32 seconds. Super frustrating knowing that I could have finished better than 4th. I still trophied, but I know I left a lot of time out there. A LOT of BS was stuck around the same sort of time in the low 61 seconds, too bad we didn't have such a close battle on day 1! Here's my Saturday fast run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIeSf1WFLVs Saturday's 12+ cone incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOyA2tTierY Sunday's clean run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAXvA-j4C9U Sunday's crappy run with fantastic sector times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsQhHgLjbH0 |

I've been following Vorschlag's Focus RS review/project, and they just announced that they released their camber plates!
https://vorshlag-store.com/collectio...plates-perches Figure that may be of some interest to you. (their thread on the RS, albeit slightly negative) |

"slightly" negative
I am unfortunately not allowed to used camber plates in my autocross class... and the RS is gone anyway. I'll have a new thread up soon-ish maybe. Thanks for looking out though, bro |
