Well, the car is faster.
My co driver was a tenth off the TTOD Z06. I was ...er...farther back....a life time of 2.5 sec. The ought6 is normally the fastest door slammer at the local SCCA events. There's more in the car even with the old tires. It was LOOSE. I have too much camber in the rear. The inside of the rears was 20 deg hotter than the outside, the fronts were 20 deg cooler than the rears, but fairly even across. Gotta back off the front bar, me thinks. Someone talk to me about tire pressures. On my 4th run (6 passes on the car) the car was really squirrely. After that run, the pressure had risen 6 psi at the rear. I dropped the pressure back to 28 at the rear and that seemed to help. Feel free to offer advise, please. How low can one go on Kumhos?.. and Does dropping the pressure provide more grip or am I just imagining it. Everyone got 5 passes and should have gotten more (we did get fun runs, tho). I took nearly an hour to break into the trailer that holds all the goodies. Someone changed the lock.......keerist. Nuthin' broke, so it was a good test. SCCA in 2 weeks. We'll be ready. BTW, Boring Bruce was there with his digi camera, so I might have some pics to bore you all with....film at eleven. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |
