Last Saturday, Talladega GP Raceway...
I went off course on the first session and stalled the car. Lost ABS and AH upon restart (pre-existing problem). I went back out and spun again. After some suspension adjustments, I started clicking off some 1:07s and I was being a little conservative since I've never ran the car at those speeds without the nannies.
Best lap last year: 1:08.40
This year: 1:07.33
I know this car can run 1:05s. Hopefully I can go back in the spring and do it!

2nd lap in this video was my best:

Cold cones and composite body panels don't mix. There's a hole under the tape and a chunk missing from the bottom.


Most of this will buff out. There's a tear on the bottom of the front fascia. Not bad enough to warrant replacement.

I was expecting at least one damn you're slow comment or something

So whats going on with your ah/abs? EBCM problem?

Sorry to hear of your troubles but thanks for sharing the vid. Last time I visited there I had some serious overheating issues just 3 easy laps in.

Keep me in mind and shoot me a PM when you guys do it again. I'd be interested in joining.

Still on the hunt for some C5Z 18's if you know anyone that wants to sell some.

I'm thinking that's what it is since TCS 1214 keeps popping up. I've kept the car in a garage since new, so I wasn't expecting any corrosion on the grounds and connectors, but I checked them anyway.
Once the code is set, it can't be cleared. If the car sits overnight it will clear. I read that engaging ABS would clear it, so I did that and the problem went away for a while. It came back after I went off course, spun and stalled the engine. I couldn't get it to clear for the rest of the track day, but now it's fine. What do you think?

Update. Went back last Monday and ran a 1:03.07
