We used to have a little time trial on the Wilson Circuit (kart track) at PittRace and it was TONS of fun. I miss that event. I still hold a class record!

Re: Road Racing / Autocross / Time Attack Picture Post!!!
Over the past couple weeks I took about 300 lbs out of the car, installed a new solid disc (unsprung) ACT racing clutch and MFactory helical diff and weighed and corner balanced the car (2377 w/ full tank). Took it to a local charity autocross on Sunday to give it a little shakedown before my first hillclimb event this coming weekend. Unfortunately it was wet for all my runs, but the car was a HOOT and felt transformed!

Global Time Attack Road Atlanta was a success. Great event and a blast to be back out on track with the team. We all had a fun time and it was nice to get away for a few days. The cars performed they way they were supposed to without any real issues. I got caught up with some traffic on my last session but I knew I could go faster. My best lap was a 1:49.1. I also had to get used to the new setup and my left rear shock was leaking prior to arriving at Road Atlanta.
My next investment is some new coil overs and race pads. The shocks I have now are about at their limit lol. The car did feel alot more sturdy now with new bushings so that was nice.
Also a couple days before the event I was finishing up the car and when I test drove it u noticed a ridiculous amount of bump steer. It was so bad that I almost thought I had to pull out of the race. I ended up switching back to my oem tie rods (from the ktuned ones) and the bump steer went away. I luckily got an alignment done that Monday and we left Tuesday for the track. It was just in time but what a stressful last couple of days.

Some pics from a couple weeks ago at the Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association's Spring Jefferson (Summit Point Jefferson Circuit) Time Trial. I won't post the video because I drove like a dummy in poor conditions (mix of damp/dry/standing water/OilDri/dirt/mud). That said, at the end of Saturday I was 6th fastest OVERALL and 1st in class by 15 seconds. I didn't run on Sunday though and they got some dry runs, but I still managed to hang on to 2nd in class.

Spring Weatherly Hillclimb 2017, July 10 & 11. Place 2nd in ITS at my first event on this hill. This isn't my fastest run, because my GoPro died, but my fastest run on Saturday.
(Pictures below of "The Jump" at 1:00 in the video)
Little autocross action from the weekend. *WARNING: little bit of bad language*

These were from a few weeks ago at a local event. First time out in the Fit. Running on 500 TW A/S tires, stock suspension (obviously), and worn out bushings all around. Still had a blast though

More hillclimbing action. This time from Pagoda Hillclimb in Reading PA. I took first in class (by almost 2 seconds!) and set the new Improved Touring S (ITS) class record by .3!
