Well I've done a poor job updating this and taking pictures but here it comes.
Black Car:
Ive done 3 autocrosses since the last update:
NEPA SCCA Pococno Regional 6/17-6/19: Was a great event to get to know the car better. I got ~20 runs in between the three days. I went in with high expectations but completely screwed up saturday, which ruined any chances of FTD and PAX. Sunday was much better, probably near the top in PAX and coned away a .4 second faster time.
LCCC 7/1: A much smaller tighter course where power is not such a big player. I was .08 sec from FTD and nearly the same for PAX
. Extremely rewarding considering the car I was behind is a nationally competitive CSP car/driver. Gives me hope for the future.
Pocono 7/13: It rained. The car sucks in the rain, all I have is slicks. Even when it dried out a little it was still moist enough that I could not get heat in the tires.
Overall thoughts: The car is pretty good right now and I'm getting pretty quick with it, but not consistent. Most of that is because of the manual rack in it. Once it gets a little out of sorts I can't save it fast enough.
Priorities:
1. Get the powered rack in from the NB shell and put it in.
2. Get the torsen rear diff in
3. Tire blankets to keep the heat
