All I need...

...is a motor strapped to four wheels. Yesterday I had the pleasure of going Karting for the first time, and with the guys from Boomba Racing to boot. I didn't do too well (last or, second to last) but it was amazing amounts of fun. Here is a video of the first race, which ended a little prematurely for me.

Crank up the Tune

Last Monday the folks at P&L were kind enough to help me get my Engine Management in order. It was a tuning week at the shop so that meant Junior was in. My tune would be a simple one as my mod list had one thing on it: Catless TBE. It took him all of about 20 minutes including the time it took to get up to operating temperature.

TSSCC Event #8

What looks to be my last event for the year couldn't have gone better. I decided to run in A-ASP (All Wheel Drive Street Tire, with ASP Pax Index).The weather was perfect and my Star Specs appreciated it. I had a so/so morning with my best run (only clean run) being a 47.2. Not so satisfied, and with the motivation of my fellow competitors (see: trash talking) I wanted to put down a better time.

TSSCC Event #7

Fun stuff! BOR! team was out in force, and so was the sun. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day for racing. There were threats of rain but what do the meteorologists know anyway. It was a good day for me, not clean, but still a good day. I got to feel the car with the new rear bar and it felt great, a little less than fluid, but much better than stock. The rear-end of the car had kind of a hopping feeling as opposed to smooth turn in, but it was much better than the last event. I have since changed the settings from Front--Soft Rear--Medium to both being on the soft setting. Just driving on the street it already feels smoother than before. We'll have to see how the next/last event of the year goes.

New Sway = Night and Day

Yesterday I visited a "new" local shop. I have it in quotations as all of the folks who work there are from a previous shop with a long back-story I won't go into at the moment.
