I haven't posted any updates in a while, so I'll share what I got for the 2010 NASA midwest season. New Sparco Sprint 5 seat with sliding rails, new 4pt Sparco "tuning" harness (I got this cheap, will be changed to a proper racing harness....just want held in place and not slide all over the damn place), plus a custom ghetto exhaust that I got the idea for from a couple guys on this site. Basically it's just a straight pipe with a supertrapp on the end. It's loud as ****, but it's not my daily driver so for now, it works. Saves quite a bit of weight, and that's the big point. Few other upgrades (hp+ pads, better fluids, blah blah). And last but not least, I picked up some of the Advan 07's that were a STEAL from tire rack.
Here's to hoping for track day weather -- and soon!

Don is so fast that he can get waaay ahead of everyone, get out of the car and pose for photos! Not pictured is D.Y. detailing his car prior to the Travis photos. Very fast indeed.

Did you hear about the time he cut a cone in half?
Eric hit a cone with that CF splitter going like 70mph or more and it cut the cone almost completely in half. The top part of the cone fell over and was connected to the base by maybe a 2" strip. The BSCC guys didn't know what to call it since the base stayed in the box so they had to look at their rule book. They eventually decided it was clean and now list that as another "exception" when giving the driver's talk alongside flipping a cone up in the air and having it land back in the box.
