Overall, I think your car looked good on the track. Maybe shift less to avoid overheating your clutch? I stayed in 3rd and 4th most of the track.

I think I remember that, you were moving man haha. I haven't heard much about the 350's having issues with the fuel which has gotta be nice, it was so annoying when the fuel would cut out...and it was ALWAYS right after the last RH turn before the straight!!

I was nearly always in 3rd or 4th, 5th for a little while on the straight. My pads held up really well, I got a spare set that had about 50% left from a guy on these boards just in case, and as luck would have it my new ones still have more than those. They had pretty great feel the whole time too, so an A+ for the HP+ from me

I ended up grinding my rear rotors on the last run of my day.

That's now my winter project: Upgrade rotors and pads.
