I was telling him the same thing, that clutch just didn't feel right.

Any suggestions what kind he should get? Its not his daily, just a weekend/nice day car but he doesn't have a whole bunch of $$ to throw at it.
How long will an OEM unit hold up to a few AX's a month and an HPDE or two every 6 months?

also, shoot me a price to have you guys do the work too while your at it.

couple more pics:

from left to right thats Steve, Don, me, Bill, Pal & Dan

me about to pass a miata on the back straight:

passing what I think is a bimmer:

how many guys does it take to replace an 02 housing bolt?

setting up camp on day 2:

about to get the point by from a C6:

Blasting down the bridge straight at 100+

And a map of one of the most techincal, and IMO most fun, road course on the east coast - The Shenandoah Circuit

I appreciate what you're doing with the evo, driving the car as it is to the fullest extent, then doing serious mods. you don't see a lot of people do that they just want more and more speed but have no control.

also, I think I saw your z06 at cecil one night.

thanks man, its nice to see someone who understands... most people just don't get it.

I doubt that was my Z06 you saw at cecil though, I've only ever had it at Atco or Englishtown.

couple more pics from this weekend @ the last warminster ax of the season. Awesome course and even better weather!!

I'm gonna miss not doing this for a few months.
have some video too from a few of my runs but I haven't been motivated enough to u/l it.

haven't updated this in a LONG time.

Lots of stuff has been done to both cars since, maybe I'll get around to doing an update in the next few days when things slow down here.

For now though here are some pics from the 3rd winter series event with the SCCA from last weekend @ NJMP.

some killer cone proximity

Nailing a cone right before the finish... that would have been my fastest run of the day too.

MAssive body roll

Wow, two absolute beauties with an awesome owner. Great journal! That Z06 is a monster, lol.

^^ thanks mang.

couple of not so interesting vids from Sunday's event.

first run out of the gate and I whacked 4 cones. just a little too aggressive

3rd run which was my best clean run of the day. still had a lot of time out there but was having trouble getting the car to do what I wanted it to.

4th run was my best raw time but I wound up clipping a cone at the finish so it was dirty
