Background & Plans
More track seat time. I road tripped down to CW13 from Northern Utah. I plan to do UMC (Utah Motorsports Campus) track days. I did autox and didn't love it. It was more about learning the course than driving the car hard (driver excuses haha). From a mod perspective, maybe some coilovers eventually. I'm really happy with the MM springs and shocks for now since the car is mostly around the town car.
