Braian is correct about her cooking, that is her hobby and you know the food is ready when she pulls out the camera to take a photo of her new dish LOL, i am guilty of eating too much of f it and having a cushy desk job for the most part.

The track day whent reasonably well, put on 53 laps at speed, i keptthe boost down in the 12-14 psi because my driving was pretty bad.
It was a cool day in the mid 70's and the car stayed cool runing 180-190 for water and maxing at 210 for the oil temp, the only major issue i had was that i was filling my small catch can in about 5 laps so i will have to re think that settup to solve that, it is also pretty clear that my suspension is to soft for track days with r comp tires, it is great for street use and bumpy autocross events but just OK for the track.
here is Btabor driving my car when we swapped cars in one of the sessions.
Yea did a little grass mowing LOL

Another track day, no big issues with the car on a 90 deg day water temps were at 210 and oil was at 230 (got to trmove the oil/water heat exchanger and shroud the oil cooler a little better) no oil venting issues with the new valve cover mods.
ready for the next track day

I kept the intake side as it was, added another intake hole and cover on the center chamber, drilled 8 1/4" holes between the center and exhaust side chambers and added another chamber above the exhaust chamber connecting the two with a 1/2" x 2" slot, plugged the original exhaust vent and installed a -10 vent fitting on the side of the new chamber that goes to a baffled catch can.
this was all done just to test thinfs and i will make a little nicer machined parts cover next winter.

It is but i had the fitting capped of on my first track session to see if the catch can was getting any oil and it did not have any, i suppose that i should just leave the line off since it is not getting any oil in the catch can now.

I used most of the two 36"x48" pieces i got, i used some under the trunk as well and have a 12"x24" piece left.
It sure keeps my leg from getting hot when resting it on the transmission tunnel on long drives or track sessions
