Noise seems to be coming from the left valve cover area. Hoping is not internal or major but prepared to...

    Balancing Life with Passion for Track Days

    Great comments and discussions! @JAL racing, as the others mentioned having a spouse that is a partner in life and encouraging each other to pursue their passions, hobbies, goals, etc, is so important.

    Mentally Preparing for a Track Day

    Thank you, and thank you for your service! I agree, I’ve learned a ton from fellow TMO members and meeting at the track is always great!
