Driver's meeting starts at 8. When we were there a few weeks ago they were fairly punctual, and the Advanced group went out first.

I'm out. Babysitter duty calls. Awaiting your lap times Mark.

Not planning on going 10/10ths but I'll try to video a few laps.

[Mark Aubele]

Taking it easy car is really loose. Laps in the low 1:15s. Gonna video next session.

What do you need to do to correct that Mark?

[venom]

1:15s is wicked fast

Got down to 1:13s last session before we left. Car is just too loose, had to be a total pussy through 1 and 2. Vid is a little long, but sort of entertaining. Catching a STI shooting fire, 911 Turbo, a madman in a Fiesta ST (guy was sideways all day, driving the wheels off) and the clutch sticking to the floor within. Uploading now got home a little while ago. Left after the car starting starving for fuel midway through the 3rd ~8 minute session. Yea E85.

Front needs to be way stiffer. Still a ton of body roll with 550s and the sway on full stiff. Needs better shocks to handle the rate. Also want a softer rear sway, no issues with Torsen on the road course but at hills it is always spinning the inside rear out of corners.

Dude, you are a driving M-f'er. To catch a turbo 911 and pass it is saying something. Nice job.

Ha ha thanks but the guy in the Fiesta was way faster. ;). The STi was damn quick though.

This was my mess from a few weeks ago. God I'm slow.

Hell no you aren't. Looked really good.

Lines all look pretty much identical to mine, I like to stay tight in the carousel too, I saw guys (like the Fiesta I caught up to) really stay wide through there, seems a lot slower.

One thing I will say because I was doing the same thing, Stick947 on here has like a zillion laps around Nelson's. He said it was faster according to data to stay to the right out of 12 and hold the bottom into 13. Scrub a ton of speed trying to get to the left out of 12 to setup for 13. Will definitely try next time was the one corner I was botching pretty bad.

Smart not going out onto the apron out of 2, I hit the tire wall a few years ago inside of 2 when I dropped a left rear off into the really wet grass getting a little too aggressive out of 2. Sucked me right in sent me right across the track straight then I was just along for the ride.

Thanks Mark. I was hoping to get some pointers from you, but that didn't work out. Interesting idea on turns 12 and 13. 13 seems about impossible to get right. I'll have to study up on Stick97.

He is on here but doesn't post much. Races an '04 Mustang with an LS1 and much more.
