Location/Event: 8-August @ Firebird International Raceway - West Track... NASA AZ event... ~90F... HPDE4 run group
Recent mods: more weight reduction, including 100+lbs from interior
Wheels & Tires: Stock/Street
Sponsors: Redline Motorsports, Forged Performance, Doubledown Motorsports

As I mentioned above, difficult day due to continuing issues with the car's computer hitting limp mode or whatever it is... if you want to jump straight to the disappointment, third video you will see me pumping the gas in frustration... this is becoming all too familiar!

the good news is that when the car was running, it performed well around this track... my best time was just under 1:08... for this track on street tires, that is very good

VIDEO 1- FIRST SESSION NASA HPDE4 8-AUG FIR-WEST
not too much excitment in this one... a bit of oversteer fun in 5/6... first session of the day, taking it easy

VIDEO 2- SECOND SESSION NASA HPDE4 8-AUG FIR-WEST
fast lap of day somewhere in here... you'll also see in lap 2 that I lose power and throttle and have to let some cars by... worked fine for a couple laps after that

VIDEO 3- THIRD SESSION NASA HPDE4 8-AUG FIR-WEST
