he just said it was fine. I assume its good cause if it was bad I'd hear it.

He should be done with session 3 now. shows its 91 degrees up there now.

he's on his 3rd session and he should be posting times after lunch. So far all the changes are working for him.

engine temp is 190 max

I didn't realize this was today DOH

I guess he fell asleep in his arm chair?

Just got home. Had a good time. If the track wasn't so slick from the heat I probably would have had a great time. The track was very, very slick. In all the years I have been doing this I have only been 4 wheels off one time. Today I was 4 wheels off twice. Brought the car around in turn three in the third session and drove all four wheels in the grass on the inside. No big deal as I was able to counter enough to drive straight on through to turn 4. Session four I went 4 wheels off in turn 4 and couldn't counter quick enough to keep me pointed in the right direction. Ended up with th back of my car pointed toward turn 5 bypass. Car stalled. Fired it up and got back on the track. The fastest guy getting timed in open class was driving a newer Z06 and at the end of the day he was only faster by .300 of a second. His name was Brian Lock. I'd seen his name on the NCRC site often when I'd take a look at track times and remembeed his name becaus he was always the fastest guy at least 90% of the time. Very cool guy and we talked for awhile. The new rear sway bar set up is doing its job. Car is feeling neutral again.

Thanks to Todd and his Healthy 101 thread I feel great. Still have a ton of energy. I'm amazed.

I'll start loading photos and see if I got anything out of the Go Pro as it was acting up.

The inside of three :sieg: .........your entry speed wasn't nearly fast enough!

Glad you had a good time buddy, greasy track is no time to try and set records, just keep pace amongst the fast group.

300-400TW rubber may have actually produced better times in this heat???

Glad my sway bar clamp I made for you guys worked LOL

Now we have to sit and determine if the sway bar change induced snap over steer or if your tires just weren't working with the track. I predicted that you would have to tune for neutrality and just not tight.
