My season finale at Lime Rock

[gsxitement]

So, On Saturday, I had my season ender at Lime Rock park. First time back there since August of last year. Had a great time as always, running with EMRA. Last year I went a 1:08. Not terrible, but not great. My first time there with the car so I had a lot to learn. This event though, I started my first session with a 1:06. Got pegged for sound in the first session so the next two sessions, I had to pedal it down the front straight. They were checking sound at the start finish. I was still able to knock my time down to a 1:04. My last session I went all out, not caring about sound, and went even faster. Down to a 1:02 which was good for 4th in class. 1st was a 1:00, so still some work to do. I was on Direzza Star Spec ZII's for this event. First time out with them. Pretty impressed with the overall grip and feedback. Still would've liked to have seen what I could do with the RE71Rs back on the car, but I'm happy over all with the outcome. Until next season!!

Congrats, those are pretty respectable numbers.

Quick question, what specs are your wheel and tire combo? Those are Evo Brembos right?

Out of curiosity what was the exhaust issue?

Do you run a full exhaust or is it a side exit or something

Thank you!! Yeah, evo Brembos. The RPF1's are 17×8.5 +30. Pretty much what an '06 evo called for on tire rack.

Well, Lime Rock is a bit of a drag cause of the noise restrictions. My dump tube for my wastegate was what hung me out. This winter, I'm going to route back into the downpipe. That should take care of the noise. I have a Thermal R&D exhaust on the car, so the car is pretty quiet. It was just the dump venting to atmosphere that got me

Thanks man!! If you're in the Northeast, definitely look up EMRA. That's the group I run with. Great people. Non-profit organization. Just really focused on getting people out there and having fun.
