not because of my involvement with them but if I was doing grass roots Motorsports Valvoline would be the best company to be involved with. Mist of Valvolines marketing dollars are spent in Motorsports.

Jeff Gordon and Mark Martín i was there working with teams supplying both with the best lubricants in the world. I’m not there now but I got a pretty gut feeling that Valvoline is staying truth to their roots.

I used to run Valvoline in my race cars(SCCA GT3, ITC, and S2000) during the late 80s and early 90s due to contingency money.

Best part, Aaron was running his car and my family was there. Also got to meet @SSDVC which was really cool - just another day where there was no other place I'd rather be.
The not so good, towards the end of the 4th session and the entirety of the 5th the gearbox is grinding into 3rd... Not great. Gonna try the easy stuff first dine that doesn't work, reassess. I am totally not stoked on this development though.
Aaron's car, I am sorry the pole is going through it, honestly I was too tired to get up - it was, very, very warm today and it took it's tole on me. There isn't a guy on RL that works harder to get his car to the track than Aaron, I think he had a good day today - I hope he did, utterly deserving.

Jason, it was good to meet you, your son and Aaron too. Your car is crazy ! I wish I had the time (or even the drive) and resources to accomplish the things you have done. I wish I could have stuck around to see you guys knocked down a few laps, but I had to leave for the cruise. And yes, it was very hot yesterday. I puked some coolant out on the track while digging into a few corners (as much as that long line of traffic will allow). The plume of white smoke got the attention of a few folks (including scaring the crap out of me), but it turned out it was from the overflow hose and was a result of me topping off the coolant tank when I shouldn't have (live and learn
). But all was good for the next four hours of the event

Awesome meeting you too - your car looked great and glad the little scare was no big deal.
If anyone has a gearbox or knows of one for sale for far too cheap in running order, I’d be happy to know about its existence.

The front has felt good - the hesitancy to get back to WOT principally driven by the rear being unsettled, I think I made some good strides on that front yesterday.
Video of some of the faster laps.

good to see the oversteer has been corrected some what.. what ended up being some of the changes that helped?

I've settled into what I feel is a happy place on tire pressure. Biggest change to the dampers has been in rear rebound with smaller changes elsewhere. Aero wise, the addition of the gurney flap made a difference in the higher (still pretty slow) speed stuff.

@zbomb Curious about your caster setting of 6.6 degrees. Was this to your request or the shops recommendation? Or maybe tire clearance? I have limited knowledge beyond the factory specs and was wondering if less caster is desirable for a track alignment or is this more focused to your particular setup?
