Hit Streets of Willow this weekend to test out some new mods on the car. The car’s rotation feels great, and I’m really happy with the progress. I got bumped into the Advanced group, which runs with no point-bys, and the pace was intense. No overheating issues so far, but the cooler temps kept the tires from reaching peak grip like they do in the summer. I kept the VSA on since it saved me a few times (four, to be exact). Lesson learned - dont get too excited on 1st and 2nd laps on 38F - 50F weather. I’ll probably disable it when the track is less crowded. More videos coming once I have time to edit—here are a few pictures for now!

Passing with no point bys sounds dicey.

I was at a HPDE yesterday and it was around 55 F and I felt like the car was just skating around the track most of the time.

true
I always give a point by if someone is on my tail—no ego here. My car's safety means way more than a $10 trophy. Most of the time, I wait for them to give me a point-by before making a move. If I don’t see their point by, I make sure they see me in their mirrors and only pass on the long straight. Although, about 70% of the people in the advanced group are the ones I hang out with.
