    Default a revisit of the CFI 302 running well

    Just because those of us that choose to keep the old CFI don't see much on here besides groaning and ecu's puking codes...

    This was last sunday up in Webster NY with the finger lakes scca. My CFI was neck and neck with an 87 5 speed, although he is an experienced driver (but on worse tires). My best was 54.738 and his was 54.312 the winner novice was a 225xi at 50.305. A built professional street open 67 camaro (this thing was awesome) was at 53.334. (you can see it as I drive to grid after the first video)

    The sound is a little funky since the camera was in a waterproof case, but you can easily hear the engine having a very good time of it.

    Here is the speeds on course, the GPS got a hair wonky (the corners were wider than it shows... The end of the track is a little after where it recorded the 52 mph Name:  Screenshot_20181008-112018.jpg

    My CFI runs great and I don't see a need to change it. I know most people on here prefer carbs, but I've got an automatic, convertible GT, and the CFI suits me just fine for cruisin with the top down!
