The Bad and Ugly and the Good story

The Bad and Ugly

no powershifts - do not know how I did it at Road Atlanta, but there went the 5th gear syncos
avoid a hard bounce at turn 11 at atlanta motorsport park, probably were I broke the fuel pump and it was laying and rolling in the tank
alignment and tire wear, what a hard lesson -- negative toe eats tires
did not stick to my budget (what budget)
average MPG on track about 8.
Rethink long road trips, because of the alignment
overheating -- different oil / coolant Engine Ice
blistering of right front driver tire -- WTF, this is going to take a lot of thinking
Serpentine belt failure - not much left of it just shredded to nothing half way in my last track day...
Serpentine belt failure caused a leak in the power steering pump - ugh

yes, I am still dancing
