That Route should be fine. I came back a slightly different way ( passed by Bellearye MT) on 28. But as long as you go up on the Thruway you should be good. I took 17 up and came at it from the West side which is what made me look up a different way back. Once you get real close to the track there are some hills but those are unavoidable and not that bad.

NYST is a blast! Super fun for a lapping day. Its very technical and almost every corner is blind. Got to learning it as fast as possible. Sunny with intermittent rain made for interesting conditions.

AZP runs a great event, definitely recommended.

Best was 1.46.35

Dad brought out the GTR




Did a line up on the track for some photos

Great fall weekend at Palmer! Was damp each morning and sunny and chilly the rest of the weekend.
Still stuck in the 1.50s
1.57.7 I still dont feel comfortable driving 10/10 here. Way too many walls.

Tow truck upgrade! FJ has been sold.

NASA Summit Point is a couple weeks away and pretty much the last event before March. Fairly sure HPDE is on a wait list at this point, but there will be 3 or 4 of us running in time trials I'm sure. Fresh repave, too.

Yea im aware of those two. Was just hoping something closer to the area/southern MD/PA area. I don't mind the drive, but was just curious if there was anything you guys knew that doesn't come up on a google search.

I have not tested this yet, lets hope for the best!
ABS has always been very intrusive for me, and I have driven non-abs cars many times on track, looking forward to see how this works out.

Eastwood flair tool makes OEM quality connections with ease. Worth the monty.

I extracted the ABS computer from the pump and put it back in the OE location leaving the pump out. All the wires plug in for now. To be tested still.
Any more details in how to do the ABS delete + proportional valve install, Do you know if any company are producing it? Did you produce yourself? Do you still keeping the drawings.... I would like to do this on my z33 here in Spain!! I notice Sasha from onpoint dyno has a brake bias adjuster on the cockpit of keels, looks like is the way to go. Any help or recomendation>

Yes, I made it myself. I can source the adapters for you but they are one off parts. The lines you will have to make. PM me if your interested.
