28.2 is solid Kyle!
Thanks Loren and Steve for putting on great events. Looking forward to a full season starting in September. Steve gave me some good advice at the end of the day Saturday- hope to pick up some speed from that. Also have have a few slight tweaks coming to the GTI for next season.

At the rate of mods you've done in the last 5 months, I expect the GTI to be a full blown racecar by the end of the 2019 season

Didn't Loren drive your car a good couple months ago? How did you both compare?

He was faster than me by 2 seconds, top 5 in a dunnellon event. I could make excuses, but those aren't valid lol

I've benchmarked a few cars and take some satisfaction in gradually narrowing the gap. Some is car set-up, some is just the value of seat time.
When Steve and I started co-driving, we were on all season tires and he was beating me by at least three seconds every event...and he was getting whupped by Loren by at least a couple. Dunno how he put up with it but glad he did.

At the rate Gene and his car are progressing, it’ll be giving the Death Kart a run for its money even when it inevitably gets turbo’d.

Well its allowed him to take his time getting his miata back up and running
But really, its been awesome watching the transformation of the wagon.

Camera's mounted on the helmet...everything moves. (Look in the rear-view mirror....)
