A successful first weekend was had (huge thanks to
@ArizonaBOSS who pulled the car down to the track and ran crew chief for me all weekend)
The car ran really well right out of the box. there was a lot of prep work left to be done, but we didn't have to do much other than retorque a couple suspension items and change pads.
As for the driver, I had plenty of rust to knock off, but the 4 year old pirelli scrubs gave me an ample opportunity to work on car control. I purposely didn't record much data, but word out there was 1:04's, with 58-59 being race pace. Given my first date with the old gal, I'm ok with the gap. I know what I need to work on, and what could be had with more brake confidence and better tires. We'll get it to the next event and go from there, but was nice to roll out, just unload the car and go racing.
A couple pictures:
Rained out Sunday, but still tried a very short session:
One session with a passenger, I cut it short after dipping a couple off from either mental, or tire fatigue or likely both:

All in all, I'm happy that the car performed beyond my expectations, had little to no issues, and was brought home safe and sound. I'll post up some more media as I find it. I hope people took some pictures on track.
