June 13 practice

Boy, time sure flies when you are having fun. It's overdue to update the blog. Prior to this practice event, it feels like forever since the last event and I've been itching to go out driving for a long long time.

Jason and Jon have been playing with setup and I'm anxious to try out the new settings. We are just about out of tires and practice on our 150+ run Bridgestone RE-11 tires. The car starts out feeling a little twitchy but pretty fast. Times are very good, we are running around 1 second faster than the other Civics. Our times put us very close to some STX cars. We end up making some changes to the car that we weren't expecting, but the car ends up going faster. Jason likes the way the car is set up also.

In the afternoon, we put on the 'race' tires, which already have 130+ runs on them also and clock the fastest Civic time for the day. Woohoo. Hopefully the tires will hold out for tomorrow.

The rest of the car is working very well. The down time has been very helpful for Jason and Jon to get the Civic back into tip top shape. Looking forward to a good day on Sunday.
