    Fayetteville motorsports park, Fri 8-26-16?

    Well, not 100% certain but going to try like hell to make friday night test & tune this friday.
    I made a couple small tweaks to the van since SDAC, and going to try them out.
    We were way too rich at SDAC, and still launching a bit softly to a best at SDAC of 12.86.
    I'll be testing launching at +100 rpm, and cutting my fueling back a bit.
    Also i'm planning on testing the shimmed wastegate actuator (shimmed about 0.035" to put a bit more spring tension).
    And as a final test, i may relocate the wastegate supply line to the intake manifold. I moved it to before the throttle body earlier this year.

    I'd love to try and get some video, but not sure if i'll have anyone there to do so for me.
    And hopefully the wife doesn't further derail my plans.

    Well, my racing update will have to wait for God knows when.
    My plans to race got derailed by my lovely yet slightly paranoid wife. We have some painters here and she did not want me to leave her alone.
    So hopefully i can get a chance again soon. I've raced a total of 2 times all year so far and i'm getting ready to just about go crazy because of it!
