Some good news and some not so good.

We did a day of testing last week and the Hoosiers fit and work fine. On 
the other hand,  it is not easy to keep this car  in the power band (above 
6000rpm) and there will need to be some setup. This car will not be winning 
SS out of the box. :)  We were a second behind nationally prepped Z-06s. We 
were running near the front of AS.

The bad news is I had to cancel going to Nationals. I will need to stay at 
home and care for my wife as she undergoes some major surgery. I feel 
pretty bad about not going, and not showcasing the Elise in SS.. but stuff 
happens and there are priorities of course. What we do at Nationals is 
silly compared to health issues.

ChaseCam will still have a booth along with BlackWatchRacing at Nationals. 
I just won't be there. But other people have stepped forward to help out. 
Robert Puertas will be there with the new tire warmers/tire bags, so for 
those that ordered them, look up Robert in vendor row. I will be sending 
over a number of items such as cameras and mounts.

CG-Locks. If you are going to Nationals and want to try out a CG-Lock, stop 
by the booth. We should have a limited number of loaners for people to try.
