Had a great weekend with NASA AZ. Did mostly instructing all weekend, but did compete in the UMS Time Attack series and took first out of 7. Hoping some photos from the event pop up online.

I missed out on what I was planning to be my first Autocross because family stuff came up and it ended up raining anyway, may do one on May 13th instead, still undecided on if I should surprise my mom with a second mother's day (she wants to celebrate a week early).

If you can spot the difference here (shouldn't be too hard!), what do you think?

I've had the calipers and red G2 paint sitting for at least a month now, just waiting for a nice day before I paint them I guess, not really sure what my hold up is :p

I think my main worry is going to be getting off the rotors and the bleeding process...

Bleeding isn't difficult and the rotors are not hard to get off, unless oxidation has gotten in there then you may need a mini sledge...but it's not bad at all. And yes you sticking your tongue out at me is DEFINITELY warranted lol.

Can you tell me more about those wheels please? They look amazing.

Thanks! They're the Dark Stainless Premium wheels that I plastidipped black (there's also some Chameleon metallic flake in there but you can't see it all unless you're right on it). I'm back on forth on keeping them and properly powdercoating them or just getting new wheels (I like the 20" Foundry replica style that AM sells).

Not sure what kind of filter/exposure tricks she used, but from our track photographer at the last event.

Taking this was a pain, since it's a one way, single lane entrance to a busy parking lot. Had to run and jump back into the car to move out of the way a few times... Feel like it was worth it though!
