For the first time, Bumblestook and Lupa were racing at the same event. Clyde's trying to get the rust off his driving as quickly as possible and today's course had a great balance of speed and technicality to help him further explore the limits of the car.

We got rained on quite a bit just before morning runs and Clyde was surprised at how well the Bridgestone RE71Rs respond even in very wet conditions. Thankfully though, the sun immediately came out and we only had to endure 2 runs in the wet before things dried up and he was able to get runs at full grip conditions again. Considering his reference for competition grade street tires is about 3 years old now, he's still trying to wrap his head around how effective the new generation tires are at maintaining grip. I think he's getting more confidence in the car and I'm glad the way I've set her up is meshing well with Clyde's driving style.

Clyde also did a pretty crazy thing and picked up a limited edition Evasive Motorsports spec Black/Red Recaro Pole Position driver seat that I had been eyeing for Lupa as a gift. It has a black velour headrest, black jersey sides, a red suede center and classic double red stitching I'll have to agree that this will definitely help make driving the car a lot easier and it looks absolutely badass. I dare say it's better than the Mugen S1R bucket seat.
