Instructor? I just need someone to sit in the car for the first session. I'm thinking I might not run the wing, too. I was still hitting in the 130's on the front straight with crappy T10's. Much less drag. I'll be interested to see what the DL1 says- much more accurate.
225/255's
Oh, that's right... you got suckered into the KWv3's.

Back from Summit on the Main. Need... more... front camber...
Car pulled great, and I ran without the wing. That made T10 hairy. Will be signing up tonight or tomorrow.
Btw, RE01R's are very impressive for a street tire, even unshaved. I did my first session with them and no wing. No datalogging, but I felt confident in them. Not an R-comp, but very, very good for a street tire.

It was a MBCA event- Mercedes-Benz cars only. It was pretty cool, actually. They ran HPDE's most of Monday. Then they set up a 1/4-mile section on the front straight and did "acceleration" runs. Tuesday morning was another HPDE session. They then grouped folks for their Time Trial runs. 2 on the track at a time.
Because the group spanned a great range of driving talent and non-talent, they ran Monday and Tuesday with transponders. This enabled them to run cars with like-times. Weather was perfect; the participants neat.
Now to see if any of my data was recorded on the DL1.

id like to see what times you got with those street tires!
It is amazing how much faster my car feels without a passenger, Volks all around, and no wing. It makes T10 a little butt-puckering. I have some data numbers from that session, but I don't think you want to read them.
Weather conditions were great for the motor- low humidity and cool. Going out at 0900, the track was definitely not sticky yet. I also had to be mindful of the motor's rpm's.

Wrapping up the car this week, I should be all set. Still need to check and see if I need new rubber though. I think (hope) I'll be fine as-is
Can't wait to see you guys next Saturday!
