    It will be really nice to see you out there again pal, it's been a very long cold snowy winter if I might add. Rumor has it that the track is about 2-3 seconds faster now and safer. :coffee:

    Two to three seconds faster? That means we will be carrying more speed everywhere! You are definitely going to have to help critique my driving this year.

    I am only permitted to teach students at these HPDE events the school lines and curriculum. Don't get me wrong it's plenty fast, but it's not the fastest way around the track. lol You know where to find me. :smoke:

    Its a close trip for us, about 2 hours. Had a pretty good time, lots of fun in the rain. Learned a lot just riding in those conditions.
    I'm really sad I didn't bring a car up. :/ would have been lots of fun, and a great time to focus on my lines.

    The new track improvements were pretty awesome. Looks like it should be even better in the dry.

    I'm happy to see you guys made it out despite the rain. Like I said my rain driving experiences came from Forza and GT5 lol. I wanted to come hang out with you guys today but I was stuck driving the Spec Race car all day. I got soaked wet but I can't complain, it's not everyday that you get to drive a race car on slicks in pouring rain, I'm in my element. I'll be honest it's nothing like the video games, there's no Reset button, no Ghost and no electronic assist. The first few times I tried to use LFB to assist with getting forward traction I found out really quick why it's not such a great idea with a 6 point harness riding down the middle lol. The next few sessions I seated myself much higher in the seat. It doesn't help that I have such big B@llz lol

    From the looks of things your team were having a great time and the rain didn't put a damper on your fun.

    I had an awesome time, fun in the rain and even more fun when it dried up for about an hour. The STI is getting closer to being completely track ready and the WRX got abused by almost everyone and took it like a champ. Thanks Chong for taking the WRX for a run and giving me some pointers. Can't wait for the next event.

    We had a great day, lots of fun, one had some small easily fixable issues, but that is typically the case with pretty modded cars. I think fastest lap times of the day from our group today were in the 1:53-1:55 range depending on the cars; pretty decent for the track conditions I think.

    Our friend with the Corvette didn't have as good of a time and didn't really run as he didnt feel comfortable with the car. We tried to get him to get back out there with an instructor but, it was a no go. Oh well, his loss.

    You're very welcome buddy and thanks again for letting me test drive your buggeye in the pouring rain. I'll be reporting back to Nuke regarding how the tune went with your car. I am pleased to say it complements the current setup very well. I only had one last minute session with you so I was focusing my testing primarily on the tune and a little on the handling. Next time I'll show you a little more of what Focused Aggression may look like lol :frantic:

    Anyways she's a great driver's car and great job getting her to where she is now. ;)
