Nice pitting next to you and thanks for the advice! i shaved another 1.5 seconds off my time after that. Ill be back there next month to try and get the times down because i know where i was slow.

On another note... where are the results? I had to leave early and didnt get to see where i placed.

Yeah you too Brad! I was diggin your Traklites! They looked real nice.

I'm glad my advice could help. 1.5 seconds is a lot!

What was your time and were you in the SS class? I'm not sure where the results are, or who is doing the write up...

Mike: I just remembered. Don't you have a plaque for me from that track day in January haha?? I forgot about that!

Michael - your shocks are way too soft right now. Try this setup: 1 sweep off full compression all around. 2 off full stiff in the front for rebound, 6 off in the rear for rebound. That generally worked well for me at streets. The picture of you exiting the skidpad shows way more body roll than you should have. For higher speed tracks I usually go 2 off on compression so the car will pitch and roll more steadily on turn in (gives me better feedback) but for streets high and tight does the trick, you tend to change directions sharply and quick so you want the car to recover quickly/roll less. Here's a photo of mine for comparison:

Yeah but with my settings I can still drink coffee on the way to the track

Thanks for the suggestions Ameer. I will definitely give them a shot! Right now I am at 2/3 for compression and 5/7 for rebound.

And not to try and say you're not correct about my shocks, but it looks like you're entering the turn at a completely different angle which might also be accounting for the less body roll. Just an observation

Thanks again dude! I'm looking forward to playing around with the settings my next event!

Actually I thought about the line thing as well but i think its just that my picture was taken at a different angle

Are you going to buttonwillow this weekend?

Haha yeah. But I could probably benefit from the more aggressive settings I'm sure.

Man I wish I was sounds so fun!!
