Road America on a hot weekend. Three quick laps, not my fastest of the weekend but a rare chance at three flyers with minimal traffic. It was 91* and full sun, track was slower than usual but still managed my person best for the weekend on Saturday 7/4/2020 1st AM session when it was only 79*. Added the Steeda 2 pc rotors for this event and even with the heat the brake feel is much better than on the OE rotors. Pad wear looks to be better as well. Now just need to see how the rotors themselves hold up.

So the event was the first round of the Time Attack Balkans Championship and I was in class Sport with had 5 people in it me and my friend with the Mustang, a Focus RS, M3 E90 and C43 AMG. The Focus won with 1.34.9 but between the mustang and the C43 was very close for 3rd in class my friend did 1:37.196 and the C43 did 1:37.051 to get 3rd in the last session of the day.
The day was super hot: 91 degree and been on soft tire it mean I again need to buy new set of tires. However the car was performing better I did have a 1:37.5 but shifted into 5th instead of 3rd and lost 0.6 seconds in the process. Overall this is second super hot track day and my last for the next two months and the second track day without anything to change on the car. Steeda camber plates did good for the tire wear and I'm overall happy with how the car performed still even with the Steeda Sway bar lot's of body roll in the car think I need some springs or coilovers to fix this.
Since this is the second time my friend is faster than me on this track I think the most important thing now is Driver mod so will invest more in track time and driver education.

45th Annual Midwest Invitational at Road America, July 4th 2020.
Group 3, this was the final session for Saturday at 5:24PM. Temp's were around 90*
This was my first HPDE weekend ever and my 1st time being on track since 1994. Last time on this track was 1994 - in a 1988 Saleen Mustang. I got better with each session, but need seat time to get comfortable with the mass of the S550. I forgot to start the recording for the early session of the day so I'm unsure if this was my best lap or not. Either way, lots of room for improvement. The car had a noticeable push, so my corner speeds were way off pace.
Sorry for the poor audio and shaky video.

Track Day+ through Sears Point Racing Experience. This was my first Track Day at Sonoma in a while after a long covid off-season.
A lot of new parts on the car so I'm learning the car and its track manners (the first session was hilarious).
Audio/Visual isn't the best but I'm working on that. Captured with Harry's Lap Timer Petrolhead edition.
