As much as I love it, that air dam/splitter would not last an eighth of a mile around here on the streets, let alone on the stage rally roads I drive down while working those events (even a non-functional, less radical, more 'conventional' splitter would not last a mile on those stage roads). [:(]

I can barely clear the speed humps in my hood. Low and slow. No way I’d ever take this thing in dirt lol. That’s what this is for.

Back when I autocrossed in the 80's, I hand cut a set of magnetic material into numbers so I could make any number for both doors. I carried them in a folder. Now I own a sign shop, I know you could ask a local sign shop to cut them on their plotter for you.

TrackDecals hooked me up with a discount a few times. The door magnets I have fly off my car over 100mph. Apparently I’m the only one with this issue.. I just taped them on for awhile but they scratch the shit out of my car so I’ve retired them. I don’t mind buying two sets a year from TrackDecals. He’s always been very helpful. I was buying way more than that in years past.

I’m attending events at COTA, Mid OH, VIR and various other tracks far away from ATL so I decided to invest in a proper load balancing hitch for my daily driver. It’s much better at towing than my old Tacoma but lacks soul. Anyways, here’s a pic. I call it the mullet:

Nice looking setup. Is that a 16' trailer? Trying to decide what size I am going to need for mine.

I think it’s 18’ but I’ll measure it. It’s perfect for my car and three fuel jugs. I’m building a rack for extra wheels. After that it’s finally done.. It was a lot of work bringing that old trailer back to life. The GX has no problem at all towing it. It’s like it’s empty.

Would love to come out and watch you run at COTA and see your car up close -
Scheduled for 12/3/21 before the WRL race. We’re hosting the test/tune day so it’ll give me an opportunity to experience the track with several 45min sessions. I’ve never been to COTA so I’m really looking forward to it. Not so much the 15hr haul out there and back though..

Never driven COTA but seen it in person a bunch, was there this past weekend for Super Lap Battle and that uphill into T1 is MASSIVE in person. Lots of high speed stuff so I'm looking forward to how your car does.

A few of my friends were there last weekend. I’ve been so busy I haven’t talked to anyone about it. It should be a lot of fun. I know I’m gonna wish I had a few days on track before driving home but I’m sure I’ll go back again.

Spent the day at Road Atlanta for a test and tune. Picked up 8mph with the new wing which is significant. Kinda wish I’d ran the RT660 instead of the 615K+ today but it was still ridiculously fast compared to what it was last season. I also didn’t have the limping fuel cut 911 issues I had before but I didn’t experience them at RA last year. Just Barber and AMP. Im pretty sure it’s fixed. It was definitely fun running with LMP, Trans AM and lots of exotics today. I don’t have any track action pics but here’s a few hard parks:

That wing is sick - you are saying you actually notice a difference with it on? Sounds like my mod list is about to grow.
