Sorry I wasn't much help loading the car onto the trailer. Watching Bullet lap Buttonwillow was amazing.

Finally got the handling balance I was after on the S1. Just perfect handling, so much fun to drive. 1:55.4 on rooted tires in good, but not perfect weather. High 1:53's with stickers and perfect weather I think.

1200/600 Xida Race, billet mounts
54106 front sway
SPM rear sway
ELBJ
4.2/4.4" pinch weld
-3.5° front camber, zero toe
-2.5° rear camber, 1/8" toe

This is true. we have used LS2 coils for 600+ hp e85 4syl engines with no issues whatsoever.
My 430whp gt3076 engine(low boost) and kim inglars 405whp engine has also used these for the last 10 years with no spark issues whatsoever
I have been running up to 30psi on mine on pump gas with stock ls coils and the 3076 and there are lots of problems running that much power(read drivetrain) but never had spark problems

Awesome 4 way battle at Willow Springs yesterday in Maxxis Supermiata Cup S1. I think the intermittent shifting issue is the aluminum shift forks getting too hot. Anyway, it came back later which was weird.
We plan on adding a trans cooler. First time I've had it balk shifting then magically fix itself.

Really windy at WSIR in the afternoon which plays havoc with the aero. balance shifting from tight to loos to tight in the same corner. All happens suddenly depending on the gusts so you're trying to position the car.. and failing. Race 2 I was missing apexes by 10' and dropped wheels a few times. Good test of car control for sure.

Bullet was sold to a local friend who will continue to race it in S1. So long little brother, it was fun.
Some parting videos


And my last race in this car

Cleaning off my iPhone, and I know these got posted in the SLB thread, but the whole lot of them deserves to be here for posterity too. Peak Bullet, and Peak Time Attack Miata.
