Record day in ETR today !!
Re: Record day in ETR today !!
Super long day for the core group, timing, safety, JY, JB, Mark P, Lin. Thanks guys for the work.
COURSE NOTE: The turnaround at the light pole on the top half was excellent. The larger radius actually made it driveable. We need to set it up that way everytime.

Re: Record day in ETR today !!
Fun event! I had a blast and it was great to be back at an ETR event.
Man, my line was pretty damn identical to JB's, I just went slower :-\. The Z was a lot slower in the slaloms at Pelli than I thought it would be. Can't transition for shit, but I know an easy fix is to get some suspension on the car. I still have a lot to learn with the Z as well, looking forward to the next few seasons in it though. Can't wait to get my LSD in the car and some bridgestones on it.

Oh so once I un-gimp the car I can't play anymore?! Based on results, I would of been a lot more competitive in STM than Pro, lol. One of my worst finishes in Pro, but it was about what I expected.lcoleman wrote: I had a lot of fun yesterday. STM is going to be a great battle this year. I'm trying to convince Marcus to come play too, at least until he gets his car prepped more.

Re: Record day in ETR today !!
Marcus,
An LSD would help a lot. You were smoking the inside rear tire coming off at least one of the turns. You might want to look at the Kumho V720's. They have some different sizes than Bridgestone too.

V720s don't come in my size, need 275 or 285 /35/18

Re: Record day in ETR today !!
Thanks to everyone who put it on and spent the time to make it a great event! I got a bit sunburnt thought :\, I seem to do that on my first day outside in the spring time, sigh. Anyway, congrats to Lucas on the STM win, I will try to make it a bit more difficult for ya next time (well assuming I can quite it down).

Re: Record day in ETR today !!
I was so wiped out when I got hone. Getting this cold /crud out of my system is tough.
I'm pretty sure I got some windburn yesterday. Could bit get warm last night.
Drove ok, but I clearly don't have the pace for the pro class to be competitive at least. Car feels better than ever.
Yes, I was a little under the weather, but still need to focus

Re: Record day in ETR today !!
Other than the timing hiccups in the first run group, everything seemed to work very smoothly. Kudos to the chiefs and those that stepped in for the chiefs that weren't there. Also thanks to all the workers. You guys got it done!
As always, big thanks to Jeff for letting me run the Mustang.
The course was a challenge in the Mustang but turned out fun. The finish was scary as hell.
Here's my fastest run. https://youtu.be/bYM0ZGb-H50
