4/15/09 Carlisle PA Fairgrounds:
RWD is fun! my best time was a 24.3. Turbo lag was a huge problem by the time the turbo came in I was at my braking cone. It was fairly neutral and no where near as bad as I expected

4/16/09 Carlisle PA Fairgrounds:
Bypass valve installed! Lets go run some 23.x laps helmet check, giggling 280z racer check, boost um not so much. I blew the intercooler off. I got it reconnected and realized that absolute power and quick turbo spool corrupt absolutely. The rear of the car never sets the only way to drive it is to never go full throttle until you're sure its hooked up and as soon as you do the car shows you just how wrong you are. I blew the breather out of the valve cover as well. Best time was a 25.9

4/17 Carlisle PA Fairgrounds:
Same story except I had no problems the car ran great all day but was never really fast. Best time 26.5 on a damp track.

The shocks should be here soon so a suspension revamp is in the cards before the Park City event on the 7th of June and the car will be on a diet as well. The dual exhaust is coming off along with the PRC equipment. Some other small things as well. Ill post some pictures as soon as they are sent to me.

Yes if you go back over the hill you will see a rectangular track that has boxes for chicanes in the middle that is where the autocross is held.
