Nope, it's under going some changes as far as I know. He's just coming down to be my instructor and help out, which I'm hugely grateful for!

I'm sure their TA car will be ready to go soon though!

Small update.

Car is going to Kaizen Tuning tomorrow for full race day tech/prep, installing my new tires, alignment, and now they have to fab me a passenger seat bracket since my cage (on the passenger side) won't allow me to mount the Buddy Club seat bracket I ordered. Barely misses the bolt holes. Ugh!

Going to chat with them about the tune situation - don't want to keep it on race gas, but it's coming down to the wire and I may be running 110 for the event.

I think I'm just going to suck it up and go E85.

i dont think thats a great idea. im from the northern nj/southern ny area...E85 is sparce at best. continues almost all the way down to NJMP. also non existent in the area of lime rock

why not just go 93 and splash some 100 in for extra knock protection?

Massachusets has a few stations that are usually on the way to most of the northeast tracks. I can always stock up.

But I hear you, it's such a pain that it's not available up here in NH. Makes me so mad, lol.

I will probably end up doing exactly what you said. It's, without a doubt, the cheapest option for right now.

I don't think you want to track on winter blend E85 anyways. Get that b*tch tuned and done with.

I concur. Fully tuned on 93 octane and never look back. Just makes more sense from an availability and budget stand point.

Don't worry, I'll smack him in the face at CTD, and you get to be there with your camera. FilthyEvo + Reputation = Drain. DONE!

Woah now, Mr. & Mrs. Sensitive!

I was referring to planning with Kaizen to do the tune before CTD!

yeah i know, one of the few is just across the border 10 minutes from me/dynotech. i thought long and hard about it, but i decided it wasnt worth constantly messing with switching back and forth. i eat through an entire tank of gas in 3 20 min sessions at lime rock...id hate to think how much e that would be.
