Although I got to the track late the organizers were kind enough to let me jump right in. The only problem was that all the instructors were already assigned. I said no problem Brad Roberts is gonna ride with me. Thanks a ton Brad.
Started off slow and realized that I am as dumb as a rock when it comes to driving on a fast track. Brad is a great instructor and by the 3rd run I was faster and kind of getting the hang of things. Still got a loooong way to go though.
Brad had the Mind Over Motorsport Boxter, Bill (nine14cats) has his 9 eleben and Greg (race914) had his really nice big four.

Cool! Sounds like a fun event. I wanted to go to this, but I knew my car wouldn't be done in time.
How'd the car do?

Since I was working under the engine lid in the pics above. I thought I'd relay the issue, and show my permanent fix finished yesterday.
My 911 Type Cooling Shroud kept coming loose and taking a queue from the Dr. Evil CV Bolt thread, I safety wired my setup!
HooRaa for my Harbor Freight Safety Wire Pliers!!!
This should solve my maintenance issue...
Wanted to mention again that the LeadFoot Adventure track day was well run and should be considered if you want to get your car on the track.
I had a FRIGGIN blast.
I'm going to try and be nice here:
Allan,
your throttle linkage sucks to high heaven! << was that nice?
Make sure it is not rubbing on the engine tin when you fix it (in the rear, like it was)
Also make sure you put a throttle stop pin back into the pedal board.
Half the headache with driving your car was not being able to properly balance the car out with the throttle.
You are VERY close to having a nice driver.
You did fine for your first track event. I was in hurry up mode with you, knowing that you missed the morning sessions.
Great group. Cant wait to run with them again.
