Another week another track Buttonwillow X1'd

[Shelby#18]

It's only been a week since The Utah Fast Pass. I haven't even taken the decals off yet. Kind of a hot day, at 97 degrees. First time here and I learned a lot with the help of my instructor. A big thanks to Shadowman for my "Special Tunes". :thumbsup

Next Friday, the Big track at Willow Springs!!

Nope, only Red cars get dirty! :rofl:rofl:rofl Actually I'll have to wash it tomorrow, it's been a long day.

Between runs there is just a lot of questions from people who want to know more about the car.

A little air under that passenger wheel. :thumbsup , tires must work good. Good apex as well .

BTW On the same pic something is hanging under the splitter on the right side. Could it be Buttonwillow Tumbleweed?.

Thanks for sharing

I thought she was running hot during the 3rd session, the gauge was at 240. But a call to Shadowman convinced me that I had nothing to worry about. The next 2 sessions were no different. Other than that the car, and tires handled the temps just fine. I was running on P2's with 30 lbs in the front and 34 lbs in the rear.

I'm not sure, I'll have to see if it's still there. I did manage to go into the corner before the front straight to early, let off the gas, and spun the car in 2 x 360's on the track before coasting backwards and planting the rear wheels in the dirt. This was the first time I've spun a car, so I'm no longer a virgin in that respect. :wink
