Took mine to NJMP for a scda drivers day. Although it was in the 50s ot was a fun day with a good group. I was even able to pass a few cars by the end of the day. Sorry no track pics just a pit shot. Only issue i had was a hose clamp broke in the pit and caused me to dump some coolant. Luckily had brought some and topped off with water.
Looks like you had a great day. I have the same wheels and love them. I bought them with a set of mounted winter tires years ago and decided to make them my year-round wheels.
I took the front bumper & air scoops off, cleaned out the condenser and radiator & replace the horns. Sadly the new horns didn’t solve the problem, When I put the fuse back in, they just blast non stop. The previous owner said he fixed the bushings on the steering wheel.
finally started the paint correction on my speed yellow c2. front and driver side done. ill get some good pics when the weather is better, hard to see in the garage. really happy with how the paint is taking the correction.
Didn't do anything today but it looks like I'm going to have a lot of free time coming up to catch up on projects.
The word came down a little after 2:00pm from the GM's office and I'll be 'teleworking' for at least the next 30 days. I'll probably only be on the clock for 15 hours a week so that's 25 extra hours for wrenching.

What products are you using? Are you doing it by hand or using a machine? I've recently started researching so I can do a correction on my own.
Just got the horn fixed! Since the PO said he'd "fixed" the bushings in the airbag retainer with no luck, I'd taken off the bumper to replace the horns. That didn't solve the problem. So I did some reading here, went to Lowes and got some #31 O rings. I took the steering wheel apart and found that the PO had put some red goo inside the bushings to try & restore them. No way I was getting O rings in there. I finally broke down and ordered a new airbag bracket from Pelican. Put it in today, put the fuse in (while holding my breath) and no horn blast. Tapped the horn and it worked!
Next up, I want to replace the coolant and the brake fluid. I need to decide if I want to do that myself or not. I think the stuff I need to buy to do it would approach the cost of having an Indy do it.
though. The link is to a "good" one, but I picked up a cheap Chinese version at my local Canadian version of Harbour Freight , that works fine for the few time I actually use it.

If you use the vacuum method for replacing coolant, you will find that it’s easy and painless. However, be prepared to replace any hose you remove, as it could break or leak, although I did not have that problem on my 21-yr-old car.
