    What kind of battery are you all running?

    What kind of battery are you all running?

    S197 Learning True Car Control

    It's a good thing

    Will, I think you need to buy her a dedicated Solo car and get it set up for her......so you can focus on yours for a 100% track setup ;)

    Auto Club Speedway - Mar 26-27 (NASA Socal)

    Guess I'll dig out my old HPDE log book and sign up, not sure which classing I'll be put under. Stock PP2 with camber plates, Borla catback, 19x11 Apex squared, 305 OEM SC2s.

    MGW Shifter GT350, 2nd Gen

    Chip, question, since just starting going this route. The MGW got rid of the reverse lockout, then, when replacing the stock pull ring off the shifter? Thx

    Data Logging for a Newbie

    Is there a good YouTube for these two app usages and setups? I'm deciding on pros and cons.

    Interested for 3/26 but haven't been back to a NASA HPDE for years, are the techs done onsite now? Used to be signed off by an approved shop.

    103db at Laguna Seca

    I really haven't measured my PP2 Track mode exhaust levels, but is this still within limits? Really not interested in re-routing my exhaust at this time for MRLS. Thoughts?
