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.

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.
Re: MAPerformance Proving Grounds Weekend @ BIR June 22-24th
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!

Did he have experience on a road course? Rib injuries are horrible - I know, since I'm recovering from one. Hope he heals up soon.

Re: MAPerformance Proving Grounds Weekend @ BIR June 22-24th
Thanks MAP for putting on a great event. We did make it about 9:30pm Friday. I have been working almost non stop for the last 2 weeks. We were on the dyno twice and I have had the tranny out 3 times and the rear end in/out.
So after trying everything to fix the shifting I found out Saturday that the clutch was dragging. I adjusted it but the last 2 years of slipping the clutch off the line has warped the metal plates in the twin disk.
But the car could shift into 2nd gear and with the QTPs we worked on 60' testing. We did get our goal first pass out with a 1.58 60'. Then a 1.52 60'.
I was not able to get into 3/4 at all so it was on power in 1/2 only. I will try 10-12psi on the 2 step and lower the tire pressure to 12-14psi. This should net a sub 1.5 short time and put the car in the high 8s at 41-42psi.
I am picking up new twin disk parts later this week and I will look at track schedules to see were I can go next.
A big thanks to all the sponsors and my friend's for the help this weekend.

Sucks to hear but at least you got to get some testing in.
Come out to Rock Falls on the 15th!
