Unfortunately its my right arm - so its been a little journey back in time to high school when I originally injured it. hasn't been fun, TBH. But its nice that they were able to shave it clean I was super bummed to miss out this year. But I'll be back next summer. With COTA going private...

Got my shoulder repaired while I am down. Broke my humerus when I was in high school and it healed a bit weird. Ended up getting a bunch of bone shaved off and removed some arthritis in my AC joint. So, limping around and can barely hold stuff. it's been a good time :D

While I wait around for my shoulder to heal, I’ve been playing with cad. My goal is have a side skirt that covers rear wheel poke, integrates the exhaust exit and better seals the floor. Will pair with wider fenders of course. Starting here since I have a scan. Hope get a full side profile this...

Looking at your video, you're carrying decent momentum - which is great. Dont need to break the habit of over-slowing. But you're a good ways off of the limit of the tires (i.e. you're still steering with the front wheel almost entirely). I'd hold off aero for now. Generally, I've never found...

4 cyl? what happened to the other half of the motor?

This graph piqued my interest based on that 130 octane rating, so I went and dug into the engineering a bit with the help of Gemini (I'm just a scrub on the fundamentals). Super interesting piece of education - I always thought E85 topped out at 105 octane - learned quite a bit. Obviously I dont...

I use the Cortex---highly recommend. No need to look further, IMHO (no stake in the game, just like good parts)

Great question. I've observed two reasons to do this in a heavy car like ours: 1. It keeps the engine braking in the sweet spot, so you have the right amount of reverse torque on the wheels as you enter the corner. If you wait too long to shift, your engine isn't helping slow you down much in...

interesting thread - LOTS of discussion ha Couple meta thoughts: 1. I've never, ever met a professional racing driver that doesn't heel toe. I'm sure they exist, but heel/toe is 100% an extremely important skill to being fast. just look at SVG in Nascar - he's H/Ting those sequentials and...

These kooks headers are pretty sweet. def where I'd lean if I was buying an off the shelf kit https://kooksheaders.com/products/11542300

it can affect it quite a bit. however, I will say almost all of the manufacturers i've seen make the same long tube headers. When I was designing mine, I looked at pretty much all the big players. they pretty much all pair the same cylinders together at the collector in the same order (which is...

I still think the ARH system was the best sounding Voodoo - eliminated that rasp

would have to look at the logs. It’s possible it’s going so lean that it can’t compensate so it protects itself - either via closing the throttle blade, cutting spark, etc. I know how that’s my ecu is setup. It won’t give me full throttle when you get outside the window. just guessing - but...

I’ve seen headers with a leaky slip joint pull air in and it makes the o2 sensor read lean

gotta have an exhaust leak somewhere - which is surprising given the double slip joints they used
