I was a customer of/for the event, I paid my way and it was worth every $. I've not hidden the fact that I love BR and the way they take care of my car, my endless questions and keep me focused on the right goals for my level of driving skill. There's no reason for them to pay me to be at their events or drive for their brand name, they have way MANY customers way faster than I...plus they have in house talent...Rob took P1 in diamond class for both races. They did open this door though, and made it easy for someone like myself, who would have not known how to properly get to COTA with my car and have the trackside support, to get into a DE that was mixed in with a real series race. Thats a unique opportunity that I have never had before in the 15 years of track driving that I've done...so in some ways, that was an extra benefit of being their customer.

When the car gets back late this week, its heading straight into the shop for all the safety/ parts work, plus the enhancement on the camber/toe and the ME20s. Ill be doing a full write up on that.

I also just purchase the AIM Solo DL and Smartycam HD2 setup and will be doing that installation on my own. Stay tuned for that fiasco!

Funny thing is that when you listen to everyone talking there at the events it sounds like EVERYONE is running in the 20's there, yet when you get on the track and run low 2:30's you find that there are not that many street cars you actually have to point by......

My best on my Aim Solo DL this past Saturday (over 4.5 sessions) was a 2:33.2 on the stock cup 2's. I didn't think that was very good, so I'm happy to see it's at least mid-pack and in the ball park with you guys (besides S'N Bake who basically has a race version of the GT4 )

What a beautiful day on Saturday and it was nice meeting y'all. Hope to be back there soon with a better alignment.

Yeah I am not the slowest guy out there so not everyone is in the 20s.

Although I did point by 10 cars on a single lap while turning a 2:37 this year. Radicals and Mclarens by the droves.

Coming soon. Want to have all the work done before I launch into the details. This was a teaser. Should have everything taken care of and documented early next week.

Cantrell bar is super easy install. I did it in less than 2 hours. Albeit, I didn't reinstall the carpet and plastic trim that needs to be cut. I'll save that for another day when I have more time.
