The new nordlock's look much better. Here's to hoping they stay put for you. Happy to hear about the tramline effect being cured!

I was 2nd fastest raw time today and if it was scored using PAX I'd have won by 0.048, which is super tight! |

Fun times today. I need more balls on the brakes, but I'm really loving this thing on track. Works sooo well. |

Before I start, here's a link to the entire album of pics (not in order, oddly): https://imgur.com/a/Rovcx
New Cup 2s are just a bit sticky, haha Arrived at the track on Saturday morning bright and early to clear skies Wrapped the front of my car up and got ready to go Weather got crappy in the afternoon, shortly after this pic it was raining heavily so I called it a day I woke up bright and early Sunday and had to drive to the track in ~3" of slush The Mustang paddocked next to me had an incident involving a tire wall in the race in the rain the day before. He caught back up and finished 2nd, impressive! To help clear the slush off of the track they let people take parade laps in their tow rigs & street cars... This brave soul brought a Citroen XM to the track AND took it on track. Not many XM owners can say that! A river runs through it... I walked out of my drivers meeting/class and was presented with this lovely fog... Track time was cut off until the fog lifted. Five minutes after taking the above pic the fog was lifting and the sun came out! I went to watch the Lighting race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsOUNamSb5w My rotors looked like crap at the end of the weekend, but they looked WAY worse at the end of Saturday Pretty solid numbers for a street car on street tires My car was really dirty when I got home, haha |

They got the name by billing it as a rider safety training center and therefore going through a loophole instead of being a "race track" ...
Also, I corded my front tires on the inside and really close on the outside too. Awesome |

The onboard accelerometer is now maxed out at 1.5G for left turns, the banked corners at NYST did it. I was seeing like 1.6G+ peak on the G plot from the fast lap. Note that in the plot everything is shifted towards braking a bit cause I was on a slight hill when I started the log.

NYST with Apex Obsessed
Track map/schedule: Paddock views: My brakes got a bit toasty, melted the wheel weights off: Also shredded my front tires. All of the long corners really ate them up. Brake pads are wearing like iron but the intense heat is cracking the rotors around all of the drilled holes. I think the drilled holes are dumb and this is proof... NYST's elevation changes are intense. I was bottom out the rear and scraping the front splitter at least once every lap, on fast laps two or more times! I had a bit of rear tire to fender liner contact, so there's some nice grooves in the rear shoulders. I killed a lot of bugs and a neat pic from the photogs, waiting for more |

Track use is hard on equipment (just see above ) but has huge value seat time wise. I really want to do time trials because it does get a bit boring for me just driving around endlessly with no goal other than to be more consistent. Your new build will be more than adequate for starting autocross and with some high temp brake fluid and track pads should be great fun on track too. |

Ahh the cost penalty of hitting 1.6g's :D
Looks amazing like always, really love your car. What was your top speed at this recent event? Is it the 126.5 from the screenshot?
