Dammit, looks always seem to trump the actual results!
Yeah, it's completely set up for big time road racing with 700whp and only 2500lbs, but it couldn't even get one full lap the whole day. It's just so ridiculously built that it will take a while to get it to perform reliably, but once it does, it should be out of sight.

It was in the Denver metro area at the facility where the Colorado State Patrol does its driver training. The road course doesn't normally have cones, but NASA provided insurance, and for insurance reasons, we had to slow down certain potentially unsafe areas. The effect, though, was that it made a fairly boring course much more fun as it added some autox flair in the middle of high speed road course action.

Wow, even cloudly it looks nice out there. Downside is the elevation. Where I am moving to in CT is hilly. I am looking forward to non-flat MI type roads.
I like using the lower rear door. Seem like not many places work well.

Can you Photoshop experts help me out by hiding the 2 white stickers (not the Exedy one) on the skirt on the two competition pics? I need to remove those and start over, because they just don't look right. Those pics would look a lot better without them, so if you guys could make that area look like there is no sticker, then that would be great.

Dude, you're a crazy sick driver. The looks of my car shouldn't overshadow how well you drove. Sorry about that one lap, if I had known you were behind me while I was warming the tires I would have moved.
We had issues with the lower intercooler pipe. At 30PSI on the dyno it held well the week before, but we changed the way we control the wastegate on the vehicle just before the course and didn't have a chance to test. We ended up running just shy of 50PSI at the track and just couldn't keep it on the car. The official weight of the car with me in it is just over 2400lbs. We made 738WHP at 30PSI. Temps were perfectly in line as well. The cooling system holds up great, and with the Ethanol it actually loses engine temp as boost climbs. We've done a lot more testing over the last 6-7 months and with a little more testing and some small changes we're going to be ready at least a month or two in advance for the upcoming season. Which will make me happy.
