Thanks guys I am glad you like the car. Jeff, you are correct, I was driving it about 80%, this was the first lap session on a very fresh built motor. My intentions were to get a couple laps in, get everything up to temperature pull in the pits, check for leaks, and inspect the oil filter. Then go back out and drive it harder. However when I pulled the filter apart the oil filter seal was torn and did not reseal and oil was leaking out of the filter. With no replacement seal my day was done. Motor ran great and there will be another track date in the future.

I've watched the top video 3x now, and still don't know if you caught the black car in front of you ;)

I can't tell you how much I love the car. I remember reading a long build thread somewhere a few years ago. Good thing you found the problem in when you did and not at speed.
