At VIR today with good friends. Shakedown #2.
First session, windshield (1/4" Optic Armor) started to buckle in at 150mph. (watch the circular sticker under the mirror):

Managed to get a support fabricated for session #2.

Ditched the (slower) Contis after 2 sessions.
Then had wheel balance issues -- the lighter body with Cortex solid bushings is WAY more sensitive to Tire slippage than the street car. Rear wheel vibration caused the Magneride controller connection to vibrate enough to loose CAN bus connectivity and put the car into limp mode.
Got the wheels re-balanced and looking forward to tomorrow!
Good to see you again Nick @ VIR! I wondered what happened when your car went into limp mode. I may have some video of that session...
