We're running the double infield cw. The south course is fun as hell, I only brake for the entry and that pinch near the exit to the front straight. The rest is flat out. The north course is a little more tricky, never ran it in this direction before.

The south is really bumpy when you go fast. Im flat out in that section except for the one brake zone for the hard left then slight brake before the right onto the straight. I think I can catch air at the hump in the middle of south course.

Yeah, its weird running the north backward. It look me two sessions to get used to it and I don't think it flows as nice as the other way. What do you think that bump at the devil's elbow, the tighter to the apex you are, the less bumpy it is.

I brought the Mitsu out to the airport today, and it was the fist time I've driven it in probably a few weeks. Quite shameful really. I'm going to get the clutch in sooner than later, and the car should be good to go by the time turbo weather arrives.





I still haven't decided on whether to run E85 this winter, or to go back to 93.

I noticed E85 is 3.69 in Exton, the same price as regular. How's that work?

You guys know E85 is not 85% ethanol in the winter, right? It drops as low as 70% ethanol. You have to watch the tune, as E70 will run richer but not stand as much timing without knock.

Pricing at my local station seems to match 87 octane as well.

Yes I'm aware of the e85 changes. I'm slightly concerned about the track day I have coming up at the end of October.

In the dead of winter the car pulls timing under hard throttle so I lay off it.
