Turn you speakers down. The wind noise is pretty bad.

Central PA Region SCCA - Mid-State Airport, just north of State College.

The course on Sunday was the same course as Saturday, but backwards.

Saturday was cold,cloudy, and windy. Steady winds of 35mph with gusts over 50. It was hard to keep heat in the tires, especially with 10+min between...

And that's how it ended.

The car just shut off mid run.

The timing belt has little nicks down the left side spaced about an inch apart all the way around the belt. I pulled the valve cover and nothing looks like it's out of place.
