    I was running on Yokohama Advan AD08's this time ...... and I really miss the Pilot Sport Cups. The first difference is under braking as you might imagine. And maximum grip under cornering is much less too. I wanted to go back to street tires to make it easier to know what the suspension needs. R compound tires, for me anyway, make it harder to understand what needs improvement. My car is loose on exit. Turn in is real good under trail braking and less so without the extra weight on the front from the weight transfer from braking. Being oldish and inexperienced at this type of thing, I hope I get it figured out before I get diagnosed with an incurable disease or something. :crying: I'm doing quite well at it but feel like I'm no where near the limit of what the car is capable if. At the same time I think I may have a pleasant surprise when the trophy's are awarded for the 2010 season so stay tuned.

    They retired the drums because a Suby lost the front facia harpooning one. Since then, the Suby's have been absent. Wussy's.

    Cool video. I guess hitting a cone is better than a barrel. LOL.

    That friking Mustang was a 2011 with ..... heck if I know, but it had Brembos. Sucker was fast! I mean not just in a straight line. The guy really knew how to drive. I usually find the Mustangs at the bottom of the list at the end of the day but this guy was at the top. If I only had my Cups ......:dumb:

    I'm working on a second camera. The track won't allow cameras on the side, they say it could be a danger to the track personnel. Likewise, if the camera is inside the car they want it tethered. I do have another view! Take a look.
