Exe Track Day - Winton Motor Raceway

This track day, I tried harder damping on my suspension. This resulted in a one second improvement over my previous PB. The new Project μ rotors held up nicely along with the brake pads, providing consistent braking throughout each session.

New PB versus previous PB:

IIS7 configuration for hosting WCF services

I have recently been learning about Windows Communication Foundation Services and when I first tried to host a service in IIS7, I encountered the following error when attempting to navigate to the service URL:

HTTP Error 404.3 – Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map. Detailed Error InformationModule StaticFileModule.

This error is caused by enabling IIS after Visual Studio 2008/2010 and the .NET 3.5/4.0 Framework were installed.  To rectify this:

1. Open the Visual Studio command prompt as "Administrator".
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation.
3. Run the following command: servicemodelreg –i.

After performing the above steps, navigating to the service URL returned the following error:

HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error

Handler "svc-Integrated" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list

As I had enabled IIS after installing Visual Studio and the .NET Framework, ASP.NET had to be registered in IIS:

1. Open the Visual Studio command prompt as "Administrator".
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319.
3. Run the following command: aspnet_regiis -i

I was then able to successfully load the WCF service URL.

Titanium Shims

Thanks goes to JimJim for recommending and helping me get these, and now I recommend them to you. I have used these on my front brakes for a few track days now and have found them effective in keeping some heat from transferring from the brake pads to the calipers. They have also prevented the dust boots surrounding the caliper pistons from cracking prematurely. The dust boots were replaced last year and are all still in great condition. Jim got them through TiSpeed, but there are plenty of vendors for these shims. They are not bang for buck but I think in the long term they will save you some money from not having to replace piston dust boots so often.
