Randy, give me a call if you need an alignment on Thursday (Peter should still have my cell #). I can check with Fiorano to see if he can take you. You will be driving right by the shop on your way to Mosport.
<-- check the avatar, that's how highly I think of him.

Very fast laps from everyone. R6 are good for another 2 secs at Road America over RA1.
At the 2011 SCCA RunOff in T1 class (The SCCA Club Racing National Championship), the fastest lap was a 2:22, with most of the field lapping in 23s. They run on A6 or R6, and T1 cars are faster than Aero Beetles in street trim.

I think its more track familiarity, the T1 record at Sebring is 2:18 isnt it? I think DE cup just needs to learn the track more.

The door issues are both: unable to close and unable to open. Well known, it is being repaired by adding a door latch on all cars as part of the 25Hp upgrade package.
The overheat/limp-mode issue has not been resolved. The engine compartment temperatures are measured, and when they reach a threshold, the car enters limp mode. The Gallardo, Murcielago, and all recent Fiats have the same system. However, the MP4-12C being a Turbo car generates more heat. It is going to take a while to resolve this one, as it is extensive work to be done (Turbo jackets, insulation, additional transmission cooler, Turbo oil cooler).
Emotional decision, I would dump the Scuderia for a MP4-12C (a no options car, except paint and few carbon). Rational decision, stay away from it for a few years, or probably forever if they continue the tradition of British craftsmanship.

Mancation has been tough on my RS. Bad downshift, broke engine. Will take too long to fix engine so I need a new rs ASAP. Prefer one with track suspension setup, roll bar, harnesses, side muffler delete, all already done. Wish list would be black/gold or blue/gold.
