I was hoping to make another HPDE yet this summer, but I'm going to be in Pa. that weekend. No MidOhio for me.

Cool ... Look forward to your humor and harassment of the other drivers "What happened to you out there ? ... That little red car zipped passed you!! " ....hehe

I have power tools so we shouldn't pull any muscles or backs ...LOL

Arrived home in one piece ... Barely

Had power steering issues .... at the end of 3 afternoon rn-groups, the power steering went out ... It returned when the car cooled

I also LOST POWER -TOP END .... I could only get to 110mph, usually get 120-130 on back straight !!!!! first thought it was the intake or ...the AC I left on full blast and forgot about ... But we fixed those and still no top end power !!!

I believe my header wuth high flow CAT is SHOT ... It is barely audible, except for rattling, god awful vibrations, etc ....

Videos are still pretty good , I had to fly around, mometum driving ,,, Loosing ground on the straights
