I pretty much spend all my free time in the garage so I will be making steady progress. If I were to predict when I'd feel it was track ready probably springtime... I'm pretty particular about what I consider 'track ready'. Especially when it comes to brakes.

I had a scary experience with brake fade in my bridgeported FB on the downhill in the mountains. Also in my FC I boiled my brake fluid charging into turn 10 at Thunderhill on my first track day. Not something I want to repeat lol.

I need more seat time in this FB before I can really ascertain what it needs. It won't be track ready as far as I'm concerned until I'm completely confident of its abilities and character at the limit. Like how I used to feel about my 2nd FC... after two years of tuning it I could drive that car at 11/10th's and still enjoy myself.

It's about 70 miles away or so. If you do end up moving there I can introduce you to the rotary-gang around here
