The brake lights occasionally stay on bec. the pedal is rock hard (from the factory), and the switch will still be on if the pedal is hanging a tit bit. The pedal just don’t spring back like a normal pedal should. No problem, only it looks like I’m riding my brakes. I _think_ my turbo is fine. I will be pulling off the intake and air cleaner today to verify some things. I spoke with about 5 Lotus guys yesterday, explaining everything that went on, they all think my turbo is fine and that it’s PCV related. Will update soon. And thanks Jay, I take it in stride, haha. It’s the only way… And Paulo’s right…it’s like looking after a mentally retarded child…just takes that extra effort and care… ---

Not exactly… but I made some cool contacts, met Steve Dinan, and have potential to get further into the sport (which is what I am aiming for obviously). ---

> [@Tunerfreak](#): > > damn you guys got to drive on the track too!!! now im pissed i didnt go I decided to come to the event last minute, and as such hadn’t read anything about it in the original thread. Didn’t know until a few hours before the parade laps that we were getting to do them… was definitely a nice “surprise,” and I was grinning for a long time afterwards. ---
