Track Day 8 - Buttonwillow CW1 and Putting the Hurt on Porsches!

The next track day with the NC Miata was to take place at Buttonwillow CA. Thus, this would be the first track besides Streets of Willow this car had ever been on and my GF had ever driven the car at.

Modifications going into this track day were two fold:

Track Day 15 - Buttonwillow CW1 with PCA - 315/30R18 Falken 615s - LS7 Clutch + Aluminum Flywheel

For the 15th track day, we were headed to Buttonwillow CA. I haven't been at this track since my third track day, and I've had a ton of modifications and seat time since then. I was definitely looking forward to seeing how the car handled!

Modifications going into this track day

So after my last two track days, my torque tube bushings definitely had given up the ghost.

Track Day 14 - SOW CW - Further Oil Cooler Testing and New Suspension Settings

For whatever reason, late March through April is becomiing quite the busy week for us with track days. Monday March 27th we were just at Streets Of Willow, and here we are again just six days later at Willow Springs driving the cars again!

Track Day 6 - Now with a better seat and a 4 point Harness! Streets of Willow Counter Clockwise

So the Miata made it out to yet another track day, this time at Streets of Willow (SOW) Counter Clockwise (CCW). Boh was driving the car, and the track day was focused primarily on her working with an instructor to continue to improve her shifting and driving in general.

Boh was able to set a lap time equal to her previous best lap times clockwise (CW), which to me is impressive since I am 2 seconds slower between the two directions.

Track Day 12- Streets of Willow CW - AMT Differential Mount

So my 12th track day is now in the books. The temperatures were again quite cold and windy. As with last time I struggled a bit with tire temperatures and traction, but dropped my tire pressures a bit further and seemed to get better traction. I also adjusted my suspenson just a bit, which yielded fairly positive results.
