Thanks. People liked it before when it was patina, but they really liked it now. I can't wait to get some more seat time!

Having fun with the Lotus Club at Marina CA Airport. I finally got the SoloStorm data logger figured out....Well almost. You can see my G-Meter is upside down.

Off to the garage to swap my clutch and build a little mount for the Nexus 7 tablet that runs the logger.

If anyone is still reading these posts I have to say that the locker + autox = awesome.

I ran an EVO school on Saturday and finally feel confident with the new setup. If you have any chance of saving it after you go too deep you just point the wheel and roll on the gas. It will pull the car out of a slide and keep the momentum up.
Very fun.

I put another 200 street miles on it and it is pretty much unnoticeable. You just have to be very smooth. I think the Lucas 80-90 semisynthetic oil helps as well.

Nice meeting you on Saturday. Fun day for sure and it was nice watching the vintage cars run with the late model guys. It's pretty impressive what these old cars can do with the right parts combo.
