My weekend at Hallett
It was hot! Car showed 109 on both days.
Actual temp was reported to only be 105.
Oil never got above 260, water was ~225. I must say the Dewitts radiator with EOC really did it's job. I never backed off because of heat.
We were going the wrong direction this event (CW). Not my favorite direction, but I really worked on my line and focused on what I thought my shortcomings were. I managed to go from a 1:34 to a 1:31 on Saturday morning. I was happy with that. The NT01s were the real limiting factor. I'm in the ABS quite a bit now.
The new Wilwoods are just amazing. I didn't have to touch the brakes all weekend. I can go as deep as the tires will let me go.
What an amazing car
Even though it was stupid hot, it was a great weekend, I just need to get a decent seat in the car.
Does anyone swap seats from street to track? I will not have a cage in this car. I enjoy it on the street too much, so that's not a possiblity.

Yes, it takes me less than 15 minutes to go from stock Z06 seat to Cobra Suzuka Pro GT mounted on Hardbar rails. The lower belts are bolted to the seat rail so they come out with the seat. My shoulder belts are on a Hardbar and stay in the car all the time.

Before you go to the expense of a seat, you might want to look into Angel Pads. They're made by Angelwings Tech (www.angelwingstech.com). Scott at Hallett has a demo set.
