How did that BAC perform relative to the other cars?

It was his first time out on a track with it and was very conservative with it... Not even close to fast lap times.

The 991 Turbos ripped it up though, definitely the best lap times of the day, though it was a very small group.

For sure, that RX8 has had better days than that one.

Beautiful steering wheel . Maybe you should consider hard wiring you radar detector to the mirror power source. It is very easy.

Took advantage of the Father day sale Antigravity had on there light weight batteries. The battery in my car is still the original from 2016 and it starting to show it's time to be replaced. The weight difference between the two is 30 plus pounds even with the 60 Ah version. When I track my car along with the wife's track car I use a tire inflator quite a few times during the different session's . That's why I went for the 60 AH to have a little more reserve otherwise I would have went for the 40 Ah.

After six different track events and almost a year time wise It's time for a brake flush with my favorite brake fluid. Good insurance.

Found out the valve controller is not water tight. Need to move it to a better location or reseal it.

The Brumos GT2 RS Clubsport (David Donohue) prepping for Pikes Peak this weekend for a bit of additional inspiration...
