Great pictures Scott!!
-Friday, test/tune learning the track, then for the 3hr Enduro, Carl and I co-drove Carl's car and won overall!
-Saturday race went off without a hitch, me P1, Carl P2, Wayne P3. I was fighting my car which had alot of understeering, we changed springs back to 750 up front, and the excellent 'crew' of Mark, Brandon, and Scott lubed my rear lower control arms. The same crew worked on Carl's car before practice to change out a bad lifter!
-Sunday we fixed Wayne's car and raced finishing the same order as Saturday.
Carl will be writing the race report, so stay tuned.

My brake changes fixed my issue and now the brakes are so sweet! cannot wait for Road Atlanta.

Joe, welcome! It was a fun day to knock some rust off the shutter finger. I would have snapped more around the pitts, but had too much fun playing with the cars.

Was the lifter a Ford Racing Roller lifter, Trickflow Lifter or some OEM?
Also what was your brake issue?

OEM lifter. (Carl, am I correct?)
My brake issue was a bad prop valve on the rear lines.
