Hah. I'm hoping to have my 315s on by then. I need it. And will need it if any C7s come along in CAM-S. Re-read the 2018 rules the other day and it looks like the C7s are no longer listed as cars not allowed in Cam. So if a C7 comes along I'll need every bit of grip I can get to claw my way past em.

I white knuckled my last run and it was unbelievably balls to the wall.


The Vee looked good out there. With that smaller profile and wheel base, and all the planets lining up, I can totally see that thing shredding that course. There was an optional with 2 gates. The first was apparently the minimum of 15' wide. 2nd was more forgiving. I took the first because it set you up to take the *janky* Chicago box with 2 cones to the driver's side, the 180 to the driver's side, and the last gate on the driver's side.... On top of allowing a little more distance to get some speed coming out of the 2nd gate. I tried the 2nd optional once and man, I just couldn't set up that tight ass gate to come out smooth. So I stuck with the first optional.

When I have optionals I try to put more cones on my driver's side so I can see them better and not guess them, unless the exit sets me up faster.
Better be a 315 with 200TW
Anything less and you're out of CAM.

Bring the C7 on, I'll take em.

I'd rather just swap it out for a lightweight battery. You'd have to run some serious cable to the trunk.
Moving it away from the extreme temperature swings of the engine bay, plus opening up more space to work on stuff up front, is the other reason that people move the batteries. I'm :notsure: whether I'll move mine or just go small LiFePO4 in the stock location.

Do these work for you guys? Might be cool for a 2nd set of wheels if you guys needed it.
This guy's Sowela, so he's Lake Charles area.

Well.... the clutch master needs to be replaced.

The leaks are BAD

There is some bad metal on metal sounds coming from the valvetrain


We need to pull the lump and pull the heads at a minimum to see what's going on. Had to call it quits and load her up early.

Sucks too because I was going to be in the running for FTD. (a 42.2)

They jumbled Dub Show and I's times, best run was 44.1 clean, coned away 43.89, I only got 3 runs to everyone else's 6 and I know I had at least another second out there to get. :(

That's some damn good times for a car that was running rough. To be dipping into the low 44s was stupid solid yesterday. That shit was tight as hell. Surprised I didn't cone anything. I need a smaller fucking steering wheel too. That was the worst case of full left/right/left I think I've ever had.

Not yet. But it's coming to that point. I put a few updates from the Autocross this last Sunday. Did impressively well, especially with PAX.
There's also some graphic green pole slammin in there that DFD hasn't picked up on yet.

It should all be well. Our RE called them the other day and they didn't seem to mad. It likely happens a bit from people backing trailers and other shit with big animals over there. They'll get a quote and then our SCCA insurance will look at it. So far it seems like it's not a huge deal.

That is reassuring.
