Just got back from a couple days at Putnam and the weather sucked! The high on Saturday was around 42, and on Sunday we didn't get much above 40.
Had a great time though, and the beast really accounted well for itself. Rained every session and WINDY! Two spinouts right in front of me - one while we were doing the track touring session with a 50 mph speed limit! The kid in front of me was only doing about 35 mph coming out of the off-camber turn on 8 and spun the car a full 180 degrees and put a couple wheels off the track! It was about 40 degrees and raining, then it started hailing! Not too bad but obviously slick as hell. Good training for running in the rain, but pretty tiring. You really have to concentrate on what's going on every turn every second since the conditions are always changing. I look forward to some hot dry days this summer.
Of course with my tranny problem resolved, I had to have another issue. I've been getting a 'gas cap not tightened' error for several weeks now every time I fill up and the dealer said they couldn't see an error code. Sunday I start the car up and get an 'increased emissions' error. *&%#.grrrrrrr
I'm thinking it may be because of the gas cap, but I'm also concerned about the VANOS pump as has been documented on this board. Now when I get an error, I use my cellphone to take a picture of the dash so I can show it to the service guys.
Anyone else have this same error message sequence??
