On the front straight at a VIR HPDE event, a Viper *barely* misses taking out a BMW. From the BMW's in-car cam. Listen for the BMW driver's comments afterwards.

Dave, you're gonna love the running commentary between you and your instructor, good stuff lol

I didn't expect it to make that much difference, not all good though... I think I need to get my toe zeroed out to give the new setting a fair shake (toe-in gets added when you add negative camber). Right now the care is noticable twitchy (especialy over bumps).I'm still in the process of figuring out my power loss problem that struck in 3rd session on Sunday, but I'm 90% sure it's related to the SSV (secondary intake port) based on the symtoms I'm having. I'll post a full detailed description of the problem later this week when I know more.

For those of you interested, this is the tread with the details of my "massive power loss" issue that was first noticed on Sunday 3rd session:

Unfortunately the Mazda serviec people haven't figured it out yet, and it is still unresolved.

Sounds like a great time had by all. I heard much about this track and sounds like it is worth the drive.
What group/org. ran this? How many days? Cost? How many sessions/day? How were the groups divided up?

- Saturday and Sunday
- ~ $300, not counting hotel room. Special hotel rate for the group.
- 4 sessions per day, each 25-30 minutes. Includes classroom instruction and in-car instructor.
- Groups divided by skill level (I assume by # of HDPE events attended)
This was my 4th event with Mazdadrivers.com - they run well-organized and safe events. Their next will probably be late winter or early spring. Check their Web site for more info.

Power!!
Hi all. I just pulled my cel codes this week and I also got the P0336 code. So when you guys pulled the codes what did you have to do to fix this one? I know what the code means but what did you have to do to fix it? Is this mean I need to get the upgraded ignition coils?
