Had it out on the track this weekend. It's a bit faster than the Targa. Fortunately, I had fewer episodes of following people around the track a time or two (probably because they didn't recognize the car). Ben did really well, too, although he wasn't one of the Dorkis promoted (his instructor said because I was sorting out the car and making changes between Ben's run sessions...oops).

Car and drivers got faster as the weekend progressed. I turned a 1:28.7 (on RA-1s) this morning. Cool Suit worked well, too.

Left to do before the race next weekend:
Remove passenger-side ballast weights, paint, and replace
Install driver's side ballast weights
Apply "GTS", "2" and "R" stickers/vinyl
