... found this video on You Tube that someone else had recorded from the Hyperdrive at Summit Point. I thought it was funny at about the 5:29 mark he blows by me after a point by. Was posted by getfast1 and I recall seeing a getfast on the NASA forums that is the Florida Regional director but not sure if they are one and the same. Anyway he was FAST.

...and then here is my entire 26 minute experience, not that anyone will watch it. Just putting it here to make it a part of the journal thingie.

It took me forever to get around around that S2000 that started ahead of me.

...so I went to my first car show today, a smaller one to support a local high school's automotive tech program ... entered in the Import Tuner Category...



...I was stuck over in the truck area, and only saw one Honda Civic there that was sharp so wasn't too worried about winning anything...so basically just socialized and looked at all the other cars...our new Australian Shepard puppy was guarding the Z....



...and got second place...there was no third place given out so it was just my Z and that Civic in the import category...so I guess they had to give me second place

...the Fed Ex man brought my Z-1 25 Row Oil Cooler today...hope I can knock it out next weekend, but not in any hurry as I have to figure out what I am doing with my brakes. But at least the cooler is here. I am doing the Stillen brake cooling kit for sure, but am kicking around some other cooling for the brakes in addition so no sense slapping the oil cooler in there until I know where everything is going.

I wasn't going to post anything about this on the forum ... but what the heck.

I decided to make the car "look" like a real race car ... mainly to carry a message. I don't think school kids or most adults for that matter, would really know the difference standing 15 feet away from the car. It's not a daily driver, and we will just take it to events and car shows and a few HPDE-1 deals a year. I get to do what I want with the car, and it is serving a purpose.

I doubt I will be posting as much as I have been to this journal thing, tho I will try. Most of the updates will be focused on our Facebook page and the actual web site, if that ever get's done. The sites are brand new, so nothing much there yet.

...got my stock seats out and out some Corbeau VX-2000's swapped in. Removing all the stock belt stuff, and have 4 point harnesses coming Monday...harness bar should be here Tuesday. Also should be getting a handful of little 1/2 watt 4.7 ohm resistors so I can get my airbags to be functional again.

I didn't weigh the new seats, but I think I might have shedded about 40 pounds.

Corbeau's are hot seats. Guess it's proper that you sit in a hot seat, which is the hot seat.

Great build. Hopefully you will update your journal as much as your FB page.

+1 and a sub.
