* Base, Tech, or Track Pack? 16 Tech
* Which Track were you on? Palmer in Mass
* Ambient Air Temp?80
* How long was your session?3- 25 min sess
* Trans Temp if available?highest 264 in sess 3
* Racing / Track Day Experience ( Judgement Free Zone )1st time on a track
* End result..... No limp mode probably would have hit limp mode in sess 4 but was out of gas and still had a 2.5 hr ride home. So I bailed on sess 4 also didn't even want to deal with the limp mode issue

* Base, Tech, or Track Pack? 16 Tech
* Which Track were you on? High Plains Raceway, Colorado
* Ambient Air Temp? 60-70
* How long was your session? 3x 20 min
* Trans Temp if available? N/A
* Racing / Track Day Experience: 1st time on a track but have autocrossed many times over the years. It was a blast and this car is great on the track! I just need to get the cooler issue resolved by next season.
* End result..... Limp mode on runs 2 (14:40) and 3 (18:20). Run 1 was cut short due to a course issue. I used gears 2-4 on run 2 but upshifted on run3 to gears 3-5 in an attempt to avoid limp mode - I think this extended my run but I still hit limp mode. Two other 16 track packs ran fine.
