Since Mike already has the OG Project Hatch title - bastard...
Anyways I just wanted to keep somewhat of a log of some updates/mainteance/new parts/cool pictures and I am too lazy to make a website for that, sooo ennjooooy it!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm sitting in class, bored... Most people dont know but finally moving into a house w/a garage so there is gonna be plenty of progress/wrenching on the EG. Plus the kegerator will keep me from going out to the bars.
Anyways, 2 weeks ago I went to basically the last event of the season I can afford/tires can go too.
Summit Point, WV - Pretty good time out there, my first time in Group 2 (Intermediate). The first day was fucking awesome, car felt great w/the new Tein RA's and there was barely any sign of understeer except when the Azenis overheated and were just a grease factory. Did not give any point by's all day Saturday, except to a 600 RWHP twin turbo mustang :eek3: Had plenty of open space on the track and got to work on lots of aspects such as new lines, trail braking, etc...

Now Sunday, well this is a different story. My first session out was going alright, was feeling a lot more cocky/confident. I finally had my first off after doing 4 track days. Nothing to bad, just trail braking down into Turn 1, couldnt catch it as the kept on rototating. I think i went 50%, as I was able to save 2 spin-a-rooos. Drove off the track and after that I decided trail braking was not something I was gonna try anymore, but instead try using the access road at Turn 1 (if youve been there, you know)..
Had another bad spin out at Turn 8 (I believe), was trying to go flat out through 8 - balls shrunk and lifted and went for quite a ride. This was my last session and after I followed a Caddy CTS-V around and he stuffed it into the wall we (my instructor and I) called it a day.
cliffnotes :
* 120 MPH down back straight is
hock:
* Stop lifting, grow bigger balls
* Saving my ass in turn 8 was wicked.
This should be updated as I start getting the car ready for next season, and order more bliiiiing
