Greetings all,
Our new company car is finally ready for the upcoming HPDE season. I picked up the car last summer and I've been refurbishing and upgrading it for track duties. This is a basic S5 Turbo with "standard" intake and exhaust upgrades putting out 222 hp and 206 lb.ft. of torque at a modest 7 psi. First event is the TrackDaze event at the SP, Shenandoah Circuit in mid-May. Then it's down to VIR in June for the Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington event in June. If you haven't tried an HPDE event yet, you should. These events are sponsored by several organizations and are held at most roadrace courses across the country. So, if you find yourself at Summit Point or VIR this year, look me up and stop by to say hello. I will have a sampling of our tester systems available to check out. And time permitting, I would be happy to demonstrate one of our systems on your vehicle to determine the basic health of the engine. Larry |

Well, the company car (and I) didn't fare too well in it's maiden HPDE event. Spent day one trying to adjust out significant understeer. And to top that off, I noticed a CEL after the last session of the day. Turned out to be a failed TPS so I loaded up the car and headed home Sunday. Have since replaced the TPS and repaired a small oil leak that I noticed while working on the car. Ready to go again.
I'm off to VIR this weekend for a two-day MazdaDrivers event utilizing the Grand course--4.2 miles of Heaven. ![]() ![]() Last edited by RotaryDiagnostics; 06-11-2009 at 06:13 AM.. |

Unfortunately, VIR is a bit of a haul for me. It's a 6-hour drive with a few "hills" along the way that test the tow vehicle. It's not too bad going down, but returning on Sunday evening on I-81 is a bear after a day on the track. Will probably limit VIR to one event per year and go with Summit Point otherwise. |
