[the manager]

Thanks for all the runs on Sunday. It was a challenging, yet interesting course design.

Thanks for all the hard work putting this together.

[imarcr2]

I agree with the manager, great course, efficient and friendly coords

Great event, I had a great time, thanks for your hard work I still have some work to do on the Mazda as I found out

That is the reason we are out there dodging those cones, we always will find a way to improve ourselves and our cars one way or the other.

I also had a great time .....

Hah I found out I need a new tire pressure gauge...when I went to fill up my tires after my last run I had 25psi in them...not 32 like the gauge was showing. Which also explains why I couldn't get my time down after dropping my tire pressure to what I thought was ~32

I was curious to know why the lower tire pressures on Sunday improved times vs the usual higher pressures? Good layout without a doubt, was just having an off day this time around. Hopefully Tire Rack will go better for me

Damn Jake.

Dawid, there's a fine line with tire pressures, plus every tire is different. Add in the cars weight, setup, driving style, and the surface conditions themselves, and you've got a ton of variables. With that said, I've always had my fastest times by lowering the fronts to 31-32, and keeping the rears at 42-45psi. Even in Shelly's TT, I ended up lowering the fronts I about 31 and pumping the rears to 40-42 IIRC. But, I like a little rotation. And I tend to push the hell out of cars. If you're a smooth driver, higher pressures up front probably do work out.

....

Then You and I have the same driving style in totally different cars, last Sunday I started the day w/40PSI all arround on cold tires, but after the tires got warmer as well as the track did to, I had to drop the fronts down to 37 PSI and the rears down from 43.5 to 40PSI a pound or so at a time. In fact, the layout of the track played the main roll, it had more hard right turns than left ones the I even adventured to drop the pressure down on the rear right down to 35PSI and that did improved my times.

I spend pretty much the first hit trying to find a set up I felt confortable trought the slow part of the course and the slalom, I know I could improve alot more since I was kindda understeering on the long sweeper after the slalom heading to the tech tent, but then again, it could be just me since I'm new to all this HEHEHEHE!!

Yeah it looks a little low



A big thanks to Jake, Shelly, Dmytro, JR, Chris, Sarah, Dawid and all for great day. Have fun at the Tire Rack!!!!

[Twitch9mm]

Great course layout Jake, the mix of fast and technical was awesome! Can't wait for the rack. Also, Damn you Karl with your driver mod but good running for sure.
