took the vette out on Friday for an open track event with PDA. Great time as usual.
I'm starting to get more comfortable in the car, pushing harder and harder each time out. Without a doubt this was the hardest I've pushed it to date.
Most of the time i was around 145-147 on the long straight but by the end of the day I hit 149 once.
I did 148 miles on track and went thru a tank and a half of 93, thats about 5.5mpg
.
I didn't have to do any 'cool down' laps or hold back at all. I was able to drive as hard as I felt comfortable all day.
Coolant and oil temps were all in check, the new radiator and oil cooler are doing their jobs well.
I think this heat monster is under control. Next on the list to do is an accusump.
beginning of the day with my boy Dan riding shot gun. First time he's been in the car on track so I was taking it easy in some spots.
He was thinking about getting a lotus, but I think this ride convinced him to get a vette instead.
