Re: Regional #1
You sure did lock up the tires on your first run. I was working at Station #1, and it looked like you locked up 3 of the 4.GaryM wrote:I'm of no help with the tire debate, but those Z2's sure were fun. Didn't hurt that the car was an absolute blast. I'm excited for next weekend

Re: Regional #1
It was good seeing several familiar faces. I wish I had ran a better tire up front - I quickly found out my brake upgrades way out performed my crappy front street tires. I had a lot of rust to knock off, and it showed. I only had one clean run. I really should have walked the course once more - and then drew out my lines becuase once I was on course, I kept forgetting where I was wanting to turn in at on at least 3 sections.
Everything I planned to do, I didn't. I didn't change my shock settings at all, I didn't have time to install my adjustable sway bar before the event, and I didn't map out the course. Clearly I got some work to so to get back to where I once was. One thing is for sure, this nose heavy car needs some good tires under it. I now wish I brought another set for the fronts.
Least the new suspension was predictable and responsive. Upon looking at the photos, I regret not changing the rear sway bar out on Friday. The only thing I adjusted was tire pressure, which did make a difference. Minus hitting some cones on run #4, I would have shaved off 5 seconds compared to run #1. Before the last run I was talking to someone and got sidetracked and took out way too much air during conversation - which I could feel on course. Ironically it was my only clean run, although I was simply trying for that vs. time.

Re: Regional #1
This is my fastest run. I have to come up with some sort of support for the car mount to keep it from shaking that much.

Just thought I would say I thought the course turned out great. Had a great time yesterday. Good to see everyone out after the winter.

Re: Regional #1
Awesome event! We toed the front out on the truck and made a world of difference! Adding more camber now. I agree, that straight/walled slalom was fun! I rode with Kristo and we hit 54mph on the third set
