Dang you scared the heck of me, I thought I had died and no one bothered to tell me.
Just in case I did die, that was a very nice way to find out.
Thanks for thinking of me.

I gotta say Tom, that scheme is pretty ****ing badass.
Well done.
While in Detroit, I had the opportunity to take a thorough look at Dean's 2020 IMSA Michelin series championship winning Aston and noticed this blurb on the back. If I was headed to the track today I'd add something similar...

181 MPH is pretty impressive when you think about the amount of air you were pushing and the added weight. I wonder what it is capable of without the governor.

Who’s going to be the first person to remove the governor and test the limit? Maybe @BillyJRacing will spill the beans.

Maybe the limit isn't aero induced. Maybe its something as simple as an engineered limitation.
Today the CV on my right rear let go. The boot burst and all the lube contained within was spewed all over everything.
I had whittled my lap times to 2:00 and it kept getting better, until the CV let go.
I must say that this car was impressive, right up to the point of failure. Maybe ill post a video, but i was running with group 1. This car stood out. Its a shame that the failure of (probably) a $0.50 part had to bring to a conclusion what promosed to be sub 2:00 lap times.
As for the consumables? I had lots of brakes left after a full day. I would say the wear would be right in line with an R. The gas? Running full out, foot on the floor, finishing a 30 min session would be close. Sometimes I made it, other times I cut it a lap short.
All in all, a lot of people were embarrassed today. What they saw on the car blowing by them all was "snoopy 49".....
