I had a pretty good weekend - the manual brake proportioning valve I installed before the event helped *tons* to improve my braking and eliminate all of the corner-entry understeer I was having, and since the entry is taken care of it doesn't understeer as much through the rest of a corner either. My biggest problem this weekend was the engine getting hot.. creeping up close to the redline on the stock temperature gauge during the 100+ degree runs on Saturday... unfortunately the stock gauge doesn't have any numbers on it (friggin Fords) so I don't know exactly how hot that is. I need an accurate water temp gauge so I can see what exactly is happening and then come up with a fix if needed.

I got my in-car video on this weekend too, but my camera mount isn't quite sorted out yet though. The saturday runs are *real* bouncy and hard to watch, but I tightened it down a bit more for sunday and it's better. Once I get the right cable for the new camcorder I'll try to transfer them onto the computer and post them. I hooked it up to the TV last night and watched, and it's *awesome*. I LOVE in-car! I never knew my engine sounded so cool too, on the video it sounds like a Speed-GT touring Mustang or something, hehe.
