In class session include a video of the instructor on the track for 1 session. Showing his lines and mistakes of others. I thought that was useful.

And seeing a Z8 on the track... Totally worth it - I almost cried

Thanks! I think I'll do a day with them at some point.

So good to see a Z8 on track! Such a rare sight!

Ron, they found minor issues with hardware (couplers leaking air and/or loose, throttle linkage hindered from full actuation, etc.), and then they tweaked the software for me so that my setup boosted higher, consistently; as well as leaned out the mixture a bit since my AFRs were TOO rich.

It's noticeably smoother and faster now, but I'm honestly not sure if it's 470rwhp. Will have to dyno again when I get a chance. Right now, definitely the oil cooler fittings and hose as priority as I don't want any leaks nor blowouts ever again.
Lets see what the dyno says. At least it's running better, and there were fixes to be made.

No leaks!

Pricing at Sonoma has always been higher than the other tracks...but with that said the one time I did it was a blast and totally worth it.

Only thing I'm worried about that Dec date is the sound limit is 90dB. I barely get by lifting and upshifting when it's 92dB...

I know this is no where near Nor Cal and probably for most it's still about a solid 8 hour drive...About the same as my trek to Willows for Thunderhill. But the L.A. Chapter of the BMW CCA is going to Spring Mountain in December (last weekend of December):

http://msreg.com/bmwccalasmmrdec2013

I think this is the first time the Pacific Region is going to Spring Mountain in over 10 years.

Crap...just realized I can't do the Nov 23rd...hope you guys have fun there.

I might look into HOD at Sonoma during Black Friday...costs way more though.

EMP07 what are you running at LeMons?

Slightly off topic but I'm looking to dyno if anyone knows of any specials or if there's possible group buys available.
