Beaver Run – the trip down
Friday moved fast, after a long week. I woke up early to help Mike get the Supra over to Innovative Tuning in Buffalo. Just when I wanted to bitch about my own exhaustion I find out that Mike drove all night from Indiana, because they cancelled his flights.
It was fun to see the Supra on the road and made me think this might turn into a caravan of cars for a future One Lap.
After stopping at work long enough to grab my new laptop that finally arrived, I didn’t get home until almost 12:30. Plan A was to drive up to Xerox and repo to VR4 from Tim, but I had to pull a rest period for my body. The last couple weeks have taken their toll and I knew I need to pass out for a few hours before breaking into a full on a road trip.
We packed what we could fit and headed out. We are not running the trailer on the car, nor were we able to get all of the cameras wired in.
Since I was the most awake out of the group, I took first rounds behind the wheel.
The car tracks great. It is easy to drive and having the alignment cleaned up really makes it smooth. Driving around in a fully rally painted car certainly is a big difference from sneaking around in the 4 door family car that no one looks at.
Tim did some tuning on the laptop, as we are both new to this ECM tuning world. It certainly makes it easy to update on the fly. We definately could use Tom in the car with us, because we know we are only brushing the surface of what’s possible.
