No, this was the closest I've come to that. It's from the rear deck and I made a shaving catcher on the drill.

I only have holes in the doors, the center console support bracket, the rear seat brace, rear deck, trunk side arches, rear exhaust bracket, and hood latch bridge.

I'll guess I'll start talking about what I couldn't optimize when that time comes. lol
Sorry for the thread jack, but I figure all our goals are aligned and just want to get through 2020.

I have removed 600 lbs from curb weight from car. How close do you reckon you are to this number? |

I think the rough guess was around 300 lbs, but that's the low hanging fruit. I still have a ton of stuff to get rid of. These things I do make it seem like I'm getting rid of everything, but I'm just having fun with some "free" mods in the garage.
Any good weight loss stories to share?

I think we will see two more people move into TT3 thanks to some coaxing from me. For ECR, we might want to ask the TT4 guys to move up to 3...

Some of those TT4 guys are pretty fast so let's just ask the slow ones

That's good! Sorry my car is probably not legal at the moment with the way it is setup and I haven't done my check-ride but maybe I'll get the car dyno'ed and come play next year.

Chase appears to be bringing his Civic Type R to ECR, so I think you have a good shot.

I can see that I have not met my goals yet. But I have met some milestones anyway:
DSC=off entire season (big step for me) NYST 1:35.9 on take off 235/35/19 R7 NYST 1:36.02 on max performance tires PMP: wanted to do sub 2 minutes did 1:50.9 LRP: 60.9 on max performance tires Drifted for the first time at LRP car control clinic (CCC) Oversteered once off the track at NYST and did not like it. |

In the spirit of '20 review, as a whole it was a shit show to say the least.
But given where I started narrowly escaping totaling my car (Here) I'm very happy with my progress. As you'll see I'm very much a novice, but my 2nd season tracking was awesome and some highlights:
Of course, lots of work to be done both over the winter on my car and more importantly driving skill:
Last Sunday was my last day of the season. Very happy with the consistency. Fastest lap was 2:02 but more proud of back to back 2:03s with traffic, etc. A far cry from Melchior, Chris, and Gabe... But I'm getting there. Last edited by DRLane; 11-17-2020 at 01:56 PM.. |

I have been trying to shove 2020 into a bag of rice in the hopes it'll fix it.
I've driven about 12k miles this year an have absolutely zero track miles again... Maybe next year. I'm strongly considering retiring at which point I will have a little free time on my hands. Now? Not so much. I live vicariously through you all.

TT is on my list for next year.
For now I'll just come and play in HPDE4 on Saturday and see if I can't keep chipping away at a 2:04 or 2:05. Data says a 2:02.9 is out there for me so I just need to drive it! lol In the spirit of goals this year most of the big out-of-state events I had planned outside of Hallett got cancelled or got slashed out of my spending budget thanks to Covid so I'm just going to hit the reset button and set a new list for 2021. I met my personal goas this year which is what really matters, so driving can be this next year. Perhaps it's time for us to start a new 2021 Goals thread soon??

As I've always said, TT is your best bet if you want to run a lot of "unobstructed" laps. A standard 20-30 minute HPDE session will result in at least 25% of your laps being aborted due to traffic. In TT, it's pretty much zero.
Plus, getting a rabbit up front might be the last nudge you need for a 2:05!
