I was excited to post that it is springtime in Michigan after a weekend in the 70s, but here we are... back to the 30s. False spring always hits hard.
A few little things to talk about on the build log. First: if you don't read anything else, and you're looking for an action camera, Costco has a huge deal on the Insta360X4 bundle with $100 off that I couldn't find anywhere else. I picked one up, and took a few pictures looking where I want to mount on car. Seems like along the rear firewall above the car looks the coolest in a sort of birds-eye view. This will be a huge upgrade to the old GoPro. Now for car stuff.
Car ran great the rest of the autocross season on the Hoosiers. Although it was another season of "win by default" I still learned a lot and kept finding new limits of the car. I was actually averaging consistently mid 80s for most of my pax scores, which felt like a huge accomplishment given the talent in the region. Then the car got cleaned up a little and put in the garage for the winter. I got it out last week to warm it up, cruise around the block, and make sure nothing was chewed up by mice over the winter. There's a little fuel coming out of the filter, so going to replace that in the regular yearly maintenance. Otherwise, it's running well!
This year will come the new DF rear cradle, actually installing the upgraded shifter, and... a trailer hitch! This car will be towing a little trailer during the Sick Michigan Miles event in August! It's a drag racing and road trip event around the state of Michigan. My buddy who helped me build the car got it all registered and he'll be doing the drag racing honors while I do pit crew (and maybe some work at the hotels considering how the job is going lately). I'm excited for the road trip and seeing what the car will do in the 1/8th mile. There will be much more to come for that!
} What a Day! Beautiful.
