Hot laps

Great day, car ran a bit hot. It rained after lunch so I called it quits and went home.

Next track weekend is expected to be July 17th.

Clean and ready for racing
Morning was beautiful
Afternoon was not beautiful

Advanti Storm S1

Sept 5, 2019

147,600Miles.

Purchased 15×8 Advanti Storm S1 hyper silver +25 offset wheels from good-win-racing.com

These wheels weigh 11 pounds and are a lot lighter than the Mille miglia wheels that came with the car. Costco wouldn’t fit them because the size wasn’t in their database, but a friend at the track was able to do it for me. These wheels look awesome.

Track Decals

Aug 16, 2019

147295 miles

Ordered magnetic number decals from TrackDecals.com

A bit expensive for what you get, but I guess you’re paying for convenience.

They look good though.
