    Thats dedication, or shall I say addiction to head out in this heat!

    Thanks for sharing, planning on any of the fall Drivers Edge events at MSR Cresson or Eagles Canyon?

    Great pics and it looks like a fun and maybe a little bit of a warm weekend. I am simply not dedicated enough to brave these temps.
    Hope to see you out there soon.

    Ron, great job showing that a Cooper can hold its own with the "S". :Thumbsup:

    I wont be able to make MSR Cresson this time -- but It looks like a great MINI forum and it is a track I would like to run.
    Hope to see all at Texas World - Oct 2-3.

    My thoughts on that "moment" are importantly do not forget it:
    Don't worry about cars pointing cars by until you get the the straight.
    If your off line slow - moderate -- and do it correctly the next lap -
    They don't sell mulligans at the track.

    I not getting a big head over passing the S -- It is not going to happen on equal terms -- but it is fun when the underdog wins one!

    I know what you mean about getting cocky after a few good laps. One of my good lessons from my first track day! Ya gotta be in a place of Zen:lol:

    After upgrading several mounts/bushings to Powerflex, I've been noticing shifts in vehicle weight (from braking, downshifting, steering wheel twitches) even more lately. When I'm sitting in the grid, waiting to go on track, I repeat to myself: "I am Mr. Smooth... I am Mr. Smooth..." I've had a few OTEs (off-track-excursions), on it particular still haunts me every time I go through Ricochet, but nothing too awful.

    Now if I can just stay smooth...
