The Good

Z1 Starvation kit works, ran out of gas at Barber Motorsports Park
Finding a shop I could trust to work on my Z, I'm mechanically inept
experience 2 new tracks in the Z
-Barber Motorsports Park
-Nelson Ledges Road Course (did my first Formula Ford driving here)
Reasons for Drop in lap times
-Treadwear tires of 200, used Faklen RT660, had a good experience with them
-Square setup ENKEI RPF1 18X10.5 +15 / Tires Falken AZENIS RT660 - 275/35 18
-alignment - bit more aggressive, maybe too much.
-sim racing and working with a sim coach.
-- sim racing allowed the ability to get an idea of how the course flowed and braking points was huge.
Atlanta Motorspors Park - best lap 1.36.46
--best lap saw an improvement of 7.88 seconds from best lap from last year
--Top speed at cross finish line 118 mph
Road Atlanta - best lap 1.51.02
--Fastest speed obrained at Road Atlanta was 125.2 mph
--improvement in lap time of 5.63 seconds from last year.
Barber Motorsports Park best lap 1.49.47
--On the four little straights you hit 100 mph.
Nelson Ledges Road Course
--Simply memories
