Shoot me some pics if you don't mind.
No problem.

Tracking season makes for slow updates!

Some noteable things:
- Managed a 1:31.28 at Canadian Tire Motorsports park. That's on par with the IMSA Continental Tire ST class; part of their tour comes to my home track. There are large differences in chassis builds but the lap times are similar nonetheless.
- Had an off at another local track last Wednesday and ripped the splitter off the chassis mounts. Damaged a radiator support bracket in addition to destroying the splitter. Ended up spending the following days hustling up a new splitter for a time attack event the following Sunday July 31.

Some photos:
- First one is me taking turn 4 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (CTMP) Grand Prix Track flat out at 190KM/h. Entry is WOT. Just after turn in, there is a hump then the track drops around 30 feet while turning left. The rear end gets light and shifts about 6-12" over. As long as you don't lift, the aero keeps the car planted the whole way through. Its pretty wild.
- Second photo is at the CTMP Driver Development Track. Its much smaller and slower than the Grand Prix track. This was the Time Attack event; the Subaru behind me is 2 classes higher and ran me down about 3 turns later. Its wicked fast.
Car looks great! Wish you were local for a better time reference but the ST class comparison helps and it sounds like you're getting quick. Love the car!!

Hope the splitter, bumper etc are okay.
