As long as you know to kick that habbit.. Seems a lot of people still seem to think that's the right way.

On track your hands should never really leave 9 and 3 except for hairpins etc. Seems like you're aware but I always find myself saying it to someone at an open trackday haha

Had my first WET track day at Autobahn Country Club yesterday. It was extremely challenging, it is SO slick on the racing line. Had my first oversteer-off experience on the track and a TON of people had offs and spins due to the weather. I ran over 30s slower than I had in the dry last year, which is a lot, but the conditions were bad. They started to dry up a bit in the 3rd session but still very, very wet. Interesting things I learned out there, was a great experience. Car was very, very loose and the diff felt great, lol. We'll see how it feels in the hot & dry before I make any big changes. Still planning to go from 10 to 11 in the rear and put the bar back to soft.

Went to The Ridge Motorsports Park yesterday held by Tss x Revscene Group. Had alot of fun yesterday. The car has been very reliable with no hiccups except running over boost problem. Need to change the waste gate spring. It is running straight 22 psi waste gate pressure.

Last weekend’s HPDE at Summit Point. These laps are not my best times for the weekend, but it’s more fun to watch a video with traffic IMO. 90 degrees out, 22 psi, 93 octane, BBK Full turbo, 255 40 17 NT01s. For some reason the MPH on Harry’s Lap Timer is slightly out of sync with the video.

Rich - it seems like (independent of traffic) you often times don't track-out completely in a lot of the turns. How come?

It really depends on the turn. Some of them it’s because there is a car there that I just passed and that I don’t want to jump in front of. Others it’s because the track is crowned. And I was tired because this was the last session of the weekend and am still a student at this...

Was at Autobahn this past weekend with Gridlife to get some hot weather testing in. 100F for most of the morning and afternoon was brutal but the car took it in stride. First vid is me sucking, going thru a bit of traffic, forgetting the car has brakes, etc. Second vid is one of the few trafficless laps I got but I was pretty sloppy. It was a fun day though.

That shifter placement is awesome. Looks shorter throw than stock, is that adjustable?

Also, you need more rear spring, I didnt see any rotation in the vid which to me means you need more. (Though youve probably heard me say that enough )

Throw is definitely shorter than stock, the fulcrum point is a couple inches longer than stock so you get shorter throws without increased effort or mis shifts. The lateral movement gating is adjustable, the fore/aft movement is not.

Yea I know haha, I'm not sure if my rear bar is set to full stiff. Might still try to get the rear springs swapped out mid season or might just wait until winter.
