Oh no, ACU4 is gone?? That was such a great site... was planning on going down a lot more this year for scca nationals practice (similar surface).
I'll be at fedex on the 17th and AI on the 23rd. I don't know what it is about that lot at Waldorf, but I always have a lot of fun on those courses (maybe more to do with the course designers than the lot). Paddock area tends to be cramped if you need to do tires.

The lot is asphalt, but has genuinely good traction. Relative large lot. Typically 50s (+/-5s) FTD. Very strong competition in the "pro" pax category.

Just threw a CEL yesterday... 
P0133 o2 Sensor CKT Slow response (bank 1 sensor 1)
I believe this is the Pre-Cat sensor... the one attached to the collector of the header?
Will try to clean it out today.

Well I am registered for Sun. I put in new plugs, cleaned all the connectors, moved the injector from cylinder 2 to 4 (just to troubleshoot), and re-tightened all the plenum bolts to make sure they were in correct sequence and tq. Drove it pretty hard for 30 mins. Then let it sit at idle for 15mins. The lat few times the cell popped on it was after a run (hard driving) then sitting at idle for a few minutes. Hopefully it is gone. The car felt pretty strong (at least so far as I could tell). Just found out Martin Kriz, who crushed everyone in BSP at the Dixie Tour, is going to run his BSP STI.......... 
.
I don't think I will be at the AI event next weekend now, though. The change in schedule makes it a very early day. Apparently there is now a Baseball game at 2:00 and we have to be long gone by then. First car off is now at 9am (instead of the usual 10) and registration will be entry limited........

Sorry guys, I won't make it to MB autox tomorrow. My start date changed again to Monday so I will be travelling early AM tomorow. The good news is endix will be one day earlier now so I can be here Friday and be ready for MB trackdays at SP on Saturday (30 Apr). The S should be set to go for track, and all I have to do is pack up for the track.
It's going to be a 16 hours drive to Arkansas tomorrow so I'm excited.
