Bummer Weekend

I don't know how else to describe it . . . It started out well enough - my first track event of the year (known locally as HST - High Speed Touring) at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in northern Oklahoma.

Saturday was a pretty good day; the weather was a bit cold (50 F) but otherwise I enjoyed myself. I did 5 sessions with steady improvement in my times, which I thought were pretty good for running on street tires (my nearly terminal PS2s). There was a good variety of cars in my...

A Mini-Makeover

I haven't been keen to modify the appearance of my Cayman with things like aero kits, wings, decals, etc. but when you hang out on C.C. for any period of time, you start to get caught up in the mod fever. So, I decided I would make a couple of subtle changes to make my CS look a little different from all the other Seal Gray Caymans out there.

I like the look of black foglight spears on other cars, because it somehow makes it look a bit more aggressive (maybe because it makes the...

My first track days of the year are coming up this week-end and I have been eagerly looking forward to it. I had hoped to have some of my planned mods done ( e.g. Softronic Plenum, racing seats, track alignment) but I guess that's going to have to wait for next month (fingers crossed). At least that will give me a chance to do a little before and after testing with my lap times.

I did try to install my Mantis Fire Extinguisher mounting bracket - what a nightmare that turned out...

First AX of the season

We had our first local SCCA Solo event of the season this past week-end. I decided to enter even though I am planning to concentrate more on DE/track events than AX this year.

But, I was suffering from cabin fever, and felt the need to get frisky in my CS. Since it was actually a pre-season warm-up (i.e. not for points), and the weather forecast was for bad to lousy weather, I decided to run stock and didn't even bother to change from my winter Alpins.

I did have...

A MODest Start

Posted 02-20-2008 at 10:44 PM by KS-CS

Let's See:

Venture Shield Clear Bra - check
X-Pel Headlamp Shields - check
Bose Subwoofer Stuffing Mod - check

Okay, so those aren't really performance mods, though at least the subwoofer mod did improve the performance of the CDR-24.

Softronic Snap-Flash

After following the marathon thread on this topic, I finally decided to go for it. I had just bought the Durametric software and cable, so Scott S. at...
