Fiasco. One word says it all.... Made three laps of the first session, then saw billowing smoke while coming out of Turn 6 onto the high bank - black flag came out - done for the day. Sigh. Drove home, without any sign of problems after the car cooled off. Still puzzled over what the cause may have ...

Earl, You waited too late :ymtongue: I can't edit my entry as of yesterday - they've closed it.

Kay followed me down the last time and brought me home....

Preparing for the track day: redo the brakes. I just finished (except for bleeding the brakes) putting the new rotors, calipers and pads on the rear of the wagon. The front will get new pads and rotors tomorrow - at least that's the plan. When Herb and I did the rears last time he was here it was a ...
