    Man, I'm slow.

    So, what do you get when you get a driver that's taken a 4 year hiatus from cone dodging, stick him in a car that's only been running for 2 weeks after a year+ layoff, put in a bigger motor, new brakes and a set of non-heat cycled 205 Nittos?

    A handful, that's what. Rust is fun. You kids and your "seat time", pffft.

        If you want to get technical. The motor isn't actually any bigger.

          It was a two day "let's see what I can break" event, I've got putnam next weekend, so I just wanted to shake it out a bit first.

                competition.. and it's cheap fun. unless you're club racing with a dedicated track car, lapping days aren't racing either.

                    Oh sweet, someone set that cone up up side down.;)

                    It wasn't that bad but at least you shook the rust off, I hope.

                          HAHA, I was going to say "no comments on the upsidedown cone?!"

                            Sucks I missed the event, that course actually looks fairly different from what we normally run at Cooper. And of course being able to run against the Evo again. Not that I have a car to even remotely compete against him anymore.
