Looking forward to that one. Last time I was at Gingerman I did not like it very much. That track is tough. Excited for the challenge.

Yeah for sure send it my way. I was ok with everything except 8,9,10. Trying to get the line right to do that near flat out was nearly impossible. Over 30 track days/ events since than and the car I am bring this time is a bit of an upgrade... should be fun.
I am registered for NASA HPDE1 at Gingerman June 15/16, look forward to checking out that sweet new ride of yours. I decided to see what the NASA HPDE ladder was like (to get to NASA TT) versus going straight to the SCCA TT with its obtuse classing rules. I have 5 Gingerman events in 2) S197's and I also struggle with 8-9 line. I keep trying for a late apex out of 8 to keep pace through 9 without success. Season opens there Apr-20 for me, looking forward to it.

Working on getting some little things ready for Mid O.
If I need to pull a S197 with a F350 on top of it into my trailer I am now good
Added the new wing plates and rear windows. They came out great!

Last night started to take the fire system out of the car for the new 360 system.
It was not that hard however with such limited space in the car and the cage it makes it very uncomfortable to work on. Took about 2 hours to remove everything.
The new bottle needed new mounts, finished that up and then worked on running the first nozzle, trunk. Took another hour or so to do it right. The new system is electric. Not my area so @Middleton Motorsports will be helping me with that part.

Well...... RA did not go as planned.
Last year at Autobahn the car needed to be jumped between sessions. I would work just fine however once it was off it would need to be jumped again to get it back.
Fast forward to last weekend. I bought a new battery and installed it in the car. She fired right up.
Next morning I started the car as it was pretty cold out. Started just fine. Ran for about 15 min and shut her down. Got my gear on and jumped in the car. Started again just fine. Went to pull away from the trailer and the warning light came on the Motec. It said low Battery... 10.6. Never did that before.
I made it to the false grid and then the car died. Was able to jump the car and we went out on track.....
As I crossed the finish line the alarm came back and the voltage started to drop. Lost power steering and pulled off at turn 5. Made it back the pits and shut her down.
Battery is not getting juice. Odd since it worked last year. Car is @Middleton Motorsports now getting sorted.
Should be able to make the 4th and 5th @ RA.
