Don't give up bud. I understand the frustration, but the majority of the work is done. Now all you've got to do is figure out the details, it'll be worth it in the end. Keep the chin up mang

Yeah I've got nothing.... I need to replaced the intake gaskets but I doubt that's causing me any serious problems. I will do some tests this weekend... The worst part out of this entire situation is I can't drink myself stupid and forget about it. ****

But it's such a hassle to take your car to the strip and run some passes when you entered a competition to do just that.

I'm emptying the trunk out as we speak ****... Hopefully it helps. Last time, I had all my tools and **** with me. This time, I want to remove excess bullshit for my run. I'm going tomorrow. Me, a Magnum RT, and my friend in his GTR.

It sucks that it can be quite challenging for both time and a premium weather track day in the summer in our area. Nothing like being at 600' elevation and have regular 2500-3000 DA most of summer.

Why not take the best corrected time and run with that? I know people hate corrected times, but since we are all running the same competition and are our DAs will all vary, figure maybe it could work as an equalizer. Just a thought.
