Hopefully she will be track ready in the next couple of months.

This car is new to me, so a couple weekends ago was my first time in it, and my first time in an aero car on slicks on a road course. It was also my first time back in a Z and back in a 3 pedal car since early 2016. I have some relearning to do, and I have to move the fixed seat back (my elbow kept hitting the kidney seat ridge when trying to shift) before I get faster. It's setup as a TT3 car and I compared my times to the TT3 and TT2 drivers that were out that weekend. I was about 1.5 seconds ahead of the TT3 cars out and about 0.55 seconds behind the one TT2 car that was out. There are easily 2 seconds I'm leaving out on the track though, I know it!

It's so nice to be back in a Z! It really only took one session before the car started feeling very natural!
