I can not stop thinking or talking about this adventure. The only negative is that it is on a Tuesday and will have to close up work. Too bad, another day off. After using up the entire 96 octane tank I averaged 9.79 MPG. I hope to get this further down next secession.

I wrote Thomas Merrill an instructor :
Hello Thomas, I am Tam. I took the Jim Russell class with you and my 370Z on Saturday. I wrote about it on a 370z forum. Could I impose upon you to give any critique of my performance, or simple confirmation I did attend. Thank you. I am Mt Tam I am on the forum. Race school day. Here is another thread you might like Started by Mike at AM performance : A.M. Performance Extra Capacity Baffled Racing Oil Pans He wrote back: Hi Tam! Great to hear from you! I liked your write up on the school. As we talked about during the day, your smoothness is your best attribute, and one of those things that cannot be taught. The autocross competition is always fun for us to watch, because as soon as we put most students on the clock, they revert back to their worst driving techniques. But for you it was the opposite, clearly, and you can credit that to your smooth driving style. Do you have any aspirations to continue competitive driving? Yesterday we completed day two of our differential and suspension testing at Buttonwillow, and the car has got a lot stronger. The fun part, we ran the car without the mufflers and with our new, lighter exhaust system. Car sounds beautiful. See the video and picture attached.
