Turbo setups are a increased liability even when done properly.

this is the truth!

But, if you're the frankenmiata it also results in 3 lemons wins and a chumpcar win by like 30 laps!

I was just watching some BIR vids... I gotta keep myself calm or i'm gonna lose it before 2 weeks is up.

Our car is pretty much ready to go. I'll head down and meet with the guys Thursday night and start packing then we head out Friday morning. Since we're sharing a garage there should be a plethora of tools between us.

If you can make the Wed night meet then I'll get that GoPro to you. Charging it up right now.

Are you guys planning on bringing an engine hoist? Generator? Welder? Compressor?

We are waiting for our new race pads to come in, and we need to re-bleed with some ATE, then we're good to go. We had some weird pedal squishiness and used cheap fluid to flush the system. Car is feeling really well sorted after an awesome alignment from Stellar autoworks!

Stellar autoworks!

Nice equipment and friendly guys over there. Their regular pricing is nothing like Jeff but I had them take care of my car last year.

Justin at Stellar did an amazing job. He got all my specs spot on. I was incredibly amazed. Also, something had been cross threaded and Justin took the time to re-tap it and fix everything. I couldn't be more impressed.

BUT, you do pay a lot less with Jeff, so I guess you can't expect him to take that much time and care with things.
