DR_ did you get in on the COTA event this weekend, and/or get the fuel starve fix installed? I imagine that will be an awesome test

I am instructing this weekend at CoTA and I am taking the Z, however I have not bought this surge tank yet. I don't think we will be getting any longer sessions plus I doubt I will be pushing the car as much as I normally do since this is my first time there. That combined with the colder temps and possible damp track makes me think I will be able to get through a session without fuel starving.
I will be buying the surge tank when I get some of my old race car stuff sold, which should be soon.

No rush, these will be available for a long time!
