Final testing before Nats

After Toledo, I took on Dan Stainback as my codriver for Nats. It was great to be able to bring someone new to Nats who was also a fellow S2000 driver. To get him up to speed, we codrove the last few events leading up to the big show.

Thanks to the changing conditions, I was finally able to say I out paxed the great Nick Barbato thanks to Dan constantly pushing me harder by beating my times though I did eventually run a faster time.

The following week, it was last event to test her out. I had some final prep I wanted to get done to her and didn't want to run the risk of anything happening before the trip. It was another close battle with Dan and I trading fast times but I eventually squeezed out a slightly faster run.

It was now time for final prep. I changed most of the bolts for the new control arms when we replaced it but not all the alignment bolts. I ordered new ones so we put those in and did alignment #6. Since I only had one set of CCWs I had to put on my sticker Hoosiers and run with them.
