Well thanks to an invite from a friend, I am heading out shortly for Joliet to try out the full course (3.56 miles!) at Autobahn. Originally thought of Murray, but his misfortune with the Lotus canceled the idea of watching him out there, so I had to get my car ready.

Tore it a bit apart mid-July at Jim's place after having an injector issue. Put it back together a week or so ago and haven't experienced the same hiccups as before when I was down at Autobahn in May.

Big thanks to Todd for letting me run down and grab his GoPro yesterday so I could take some on-track video today. Although I noticed a couple videos still on it from RA that I think he left on it intentionally for some inspiration. :goof

Thinking good thoughts the car continues to run well for me today and I can get some decent track time, since May's event was cut short due to car issues.

Anyways, I'm ready to go!

Uploading a video now from a decent lap, until a Ferrari decided to meet the tirewall.

Last year I ran a 15.41 @ 92 with a 2.4 60'. That was pre-supercharger on street tires. And bad driver. '

It should be mid to high 14s with someone who can actually drive and launch a FWD 5-speed car in stock form. I think.

Thanks, me too. I don't mind the north track so much now if combined with the south track. The two tracks add a nice variety.
