HPDE the 24th, 25th at MMP this weekend at Miller Motorsports Park. We ran the East track which I have never run on before. A bit more technical than the West track. The best I could get on Sat was a 1:54:29. Sunday was much better weather and the best I got was 1:52:30. I did have a 1:51:9 but, all I had running was Harry's lap timer. Was in a rush for the first session so no video proof.

Pretty interesting, I had my best lap and my worst lap back to back. It's on the video "A little misstep on my part". All the debris is from a Porch that lost all his engine oil during the Thunder and Lightning race prior to our session. It was dry sweep and it sure makes a mess. I'm not sure if it was all me or oil/debris on the track for the spin I had. Looks like the line I was on was like the previous lines through that section.

I also ran into 2 problems with the car. The fuel starvation is a big problem now; looks like any .7G or higher right hand turn and I'm starving if I start the session with anything 3/4 or below. So I have to start with minimum of 2 dots from full. Need the CJM fuel system fix for sure.

Problem #2 was the power steering fluid boiling over. Post session the bottle was too hot to touch and had some fluid that was or had leaked out. Z1 PS cooler on the way soon.

All in all had a great time hung out with some of the Spec Z guys who are all great guys. A couple of them gave me some pointers

A bit of cheezy intro but what the heck
