Last Sunday I went to Sears Point for my final track day of the season.

It was 35 degrees when I arrived and the ICY sign came on. As I am on summer tires I was on my toes. By the time I got on the track it had warmed to 49 degrees and that was fine. It was a bit moist so a few steering input corrections were made on the first few laps. The curbs were too wet. Open passing.

I had adjusted my suspension via the coil overs and may have removed too much rebound by cranking down the setting two clicks. I could not keep the nose of my car on the hairpins inside line, the front would wash out every time. It was so weird as I am used to the rear end sliding, not the front.

My best lap time ever was not captured on film. My camera gave me a green screen of nothing. It was timed but boo on the camera.

Numerous tows this day but the Z troopered through without incident.

I had a blast and am saddened that it will be months till the next one.
