MAPerformance Proving Grounds Weekend @ BIR June 22-24th

Also, did some research on the loud whining, it's normal on 8s that get launched and Shep's reported response is that you can replace the gear but it'll just do it again. People have upwards of 50 more passes on these gears with no extra issues or problems, though some report extra notchiness. I'll just rock it until it gets worse like everyone else apparently does.

Sounds like SA/U was under populated.

lol, oh silly murlo. I don't need anything extra to rock SA/U. Although maybe I'd take seats out or whatever just for the heck of it.

Winnings..Winning!

Paul, the challenge should be like we talked about, a balanced fast car, you 1g is right there. All that is left is to get the brakes to be as good as the rest of the setup.

Thanks, Shawn... that means a lot to me coming from you.

Yea, I was a bit surprised how fast the brakes gave out on the road course. fortunately I was going just a bit slower than that poor Evo on the same corner when I had my off...

I think a lot of that was my inexperience in resource management (tire wear, reducing brake usage, etc...) We'll be aiming for more seat time this year for sure!

It's what I'm good at along with putting DSMs into the mid 11s.
I'll make my normal track day in september, like I have every year since '05.

Don't forget the shootout, I'm really pumped for that. 20th anniversary to boot.
