Track Day 41 - PIR W/ SCCA Track Night in America - Trackspec Hood Vent Wickers, Data Acquisition & More Wing Angle

Shred Jesse's white 1999 C5 Corvette with full aero parked at Portland International Raceway

Coming into this track day I had a bit of a gap driving, and had actually been driving our Lemons Accord more. Fortunately, I was able to wrap up a few last minute modifications to get the car ready to go for the event.

Track Day 6 (TNIA @ PIR) & AX 3

So a lot happened since the last track day. Specifically, we unloaded the car and noticed that the steering pump sounded horrible, and we also needed to manage some really high trans temperatures we were seeing. While our small trans cooler was an improvement over the OEM complete lack of a cooler, it just wasn't up to the job.

Track Day 36 -- PIR With Cascade Sports Car Club -- Better Data, Intake Manifold / IAT temps, and oil pressure is back!

So the 36th track day for this car was at Portland International Raceway with Cascade Sports Car club. I was instructing and driving, so I covered a lot of ground, but here's in general how it went!
