Well, to say that the Lemons race didn't go well would be an understatement

We had fueling issues the entire two days that didn't allow us to run more than 2 laps without fuel cut-out over 3000 rpm, and TWS is a fast 3rd and 4th gear track with several places that allow for triple digit speeds.

We replaced pretty much every sensor in the car at some point and all the injectors with some known good ones. TPS, MAF, Camshaft PS, Fuel pump, etc. and couldn't ever get the car to run right.

Billy is thinking at this point that there are possibly too many systems missing from the car for the stock ECU to function properly at this point and it's limiting revs possibly for some reason.

A bummer because even with the cutout, Billy ran a 2:14 lap and the Fast lap was a 2:02. I think with it running decent and warm tires, we could have got down to 2:05 or so.

I've got a bunch of Auto X to do over the next couple months, but, hopefully they'll let me join them again at some point later in the year. I enjoyed hangin' out with them and BS-ing car talk, learning from their impressive amount of knowledge, and they never gave up on the car.





This Vid is actually of me in the WRX during the track day on Friday. I'm coming down off the oval into turn 1 at around 125mph, and hit 100+ in several places at this track. A fast track for my first track experience.
