The Scuderia is On Track! - Road Ameria April 25/26

Heading up to Road America in beautiful Elkhart Lake Wisconsin this weekend for the first track weekend of the year.  Time to shake off the rust of the Midwestern winter to get some hot laps in with NASA Midwest.

The good news is that the Team Scuderia Asino Grigio M3 is back from the shop with fresh fluids, (Castrol SRF, and Castrol TWS) as well as one the best alignments (feels perfect) that the car has ever had.  I have a shiny new set of Brembo's on the car, some new Nitto NT01's and fresh set of PFC01's all ready to go.  So any apparent lack of speed will likely not be the car's fault.

The bad news is that a car porter, backed a Mini Cooper into the passenger door while it was in the shop and wrinkled the sheet metal pretty well. So for the first time ever, I have to deal with the 50/50 rule, (body damage must not be noticeable at 50 feet when the car is going 50mph).  Not the best case scenario, but the folks at the dealership are handling the situation very professionally.

So this is the yin and yang of the first track weekend of the year. Hopefully I'll have much to share upon my return.  Peace.
