Well I unloaded off the trailer and the abs light was on....I broke the harness when I strapped the car down.....no abs. Ok no prob, put ya big boy pants on and deal with...... yep it rained in the second session.....nice. So I get more comfy I. the car,.I am killing the brakes......shaking, no fade....needs brake ducts. Then the power steering pump breaks and shoots off 3 caps through the day. Sprays fluid all over, fluid is burnt ( fresh royal purple ) needs a pump and cooler. Will install new rotors and.drill a relief hole in a new ps cap in the morning and see how that works. I will be moved up to intermediate group from novice tomorrow, I passed every car on track except a Carrera 4 s, that bitch was fast!

Teething is the easy stage. Wait until it turns into obsessive convulsive suspension tuning, horse power gathering, weight loss, and wallet emptying. I had the same thing happen to me my first track day. Lost my power steering pump back in 2001. I went to a KRC aluminum with seperate resevoir. Granted, this is on a first gen camaro.
