As usual, I had a great time this past weekend at ACS. I was able to set a personal best of 1:55.8xx. This time was good enough for a podium up until the last session. It was too bad too as I was finally gridded just behind Chris (f20kills) only to realize on the outlap that my rotor had cracked. 
I swapped the rotor and jumped into the 2nd half of green 4 but ran into a bmw who thought I wanted to play (but I really just wanted to pass) 
Anyway, it was pure fun!
Here is the video of my fast lap. The cones in the playground section were moved around and I got a little confused. Also, at the end is Justin missing his brake marker.
Dustin, what's the prognosis?

FAIL.... O2 sensors not covered by my CPOed power-train warranty. They're also not covered beyond 50K miles or 3+ years (both of which my car has exceeded). They quoted me $450+ to replace them 
Looks like I'm gonna have to find my way under the car and figure this out. Tips and links to any articles/pictures for code P0139 (secondary O2 sensor) replacement are welcome. heh

Since it's just a rear o2 I would just get a replacement at auto zone pepboys etc... All you should need is a jack stands and a 22mm or 7/8 wrench remove the sensor furthest back and replace it with the new one.

Ordered on ebay (full OEM with connectors and everything, no wire splicing necessary) for $145 vs. the $287 the dealer was charging me and close to another $200 for labor... lol.
Dustin - GL, hope it's not too bad. And yes, lesson learned. I put it in my log book - NGK ONLY...

The inside of Albert's hardtop is shinier than, um, my whole car.
Albert, you running ducts?
I cracked a rotor there last year (even w/ducts) so I ran "extra" cool off laps in the paddock...more than usual, about ~10 min.
Dustin, hope you'll be up and running again soon!

Here's my FTD lap.
Unfortunately, my transponder wasn't plugged in during Red 1 so I didn't get gridded for Red 2.
However, I caught a lucky draft off a "white CR" @ the end of Lap 2 just before the start/finish...
Everyone's getting so quick and the differences in lap times are getting tighter...
Just got the GoPro last week so didn't have it set properly (spot meter wasn't on, tried to save it in post)...and it's mounted way too high...*sorry*.

Nice Mike!
140!!! More better NICE!!
I couldnt get over 132 after my "incident" and I think I may have had too much angle on my wing 
Damn these RS3's!! haha I hope what Nam and I talked about isnt true with these tires in the summer....cause right now in the cooler months, these tires are a great value!

^You got a new wing! I like it. I know looks isn't everything but the wing mounts on the outside of the trunk look so much better to me than the center mount style of your previous wing.
what's this summer thing you speak of? think the price is going to go up like crazy?

Yup, new wing and sold the Type 7
I like the look of both but my next wing may be a J's Type1 with 275-285 stands..I like that look.Nam mentioned that hotter days, the RS3s are not as grippy (get greasy easy) and the NT01s should be a faster tire....we shall see...

Great driving Mike. Next time I'll have to try staying in 3rd for a couple of those turns (After the roval and before the playground).
