Nate, youre everywhere! NASA TT, RTA, and now this. Good for you man. Keep doing what your doing.
Nate, your seat worries me. It moves too much, side to side, under load. Judging by your in-car, its moving a good 1-2" to each side. That equates to a good 2-4" of side to side movement. Most people dont notice this until they see their in-car. Grab your seat by the bolster. Push and pull on it side to side and see how far you can move it....

I think the seat moves too much too. I picked it up for the extra head protection, but since it's a side mounted seat that mounts on aluminum rails, it's got a lot of give to it. There's plans underway to change it up!

My wife and I were there to watch the day's events, and you're right it was HOT... Thanks for representing the Evo's very well! I think yours was the only one to make it for the entire session, every session! I noticed the other Evo's (a mad-fast orange VII/IX and the X) would run for about three or four laps, then I could hear them misfiring and having blow-off issues... Same went for the GT-R's... I have run VIR for about 20 events, and it's my favorite track. I will be in another Evo soon, and count me in for next year!

Yeah, the car ran extremely well. It's never really had any issues... ever besides some intercooler hose issues (I have to run stock hoses in TTB) that I hope to have fixed.
But the temps inside the car were just fine. Given I had the heater on high... which made the driving all that much...hotter.
Hope to see ya next year then!

Sadly I doubt I'll see VIR again, at least not for a while. Just moved to NorCal, so the corkscrew at Laguna Seca will have to do 
Nicely done Nate. Great results for a first time at VIR.
