Great work Greg, nice pickup on times. Did it feel better too as it got faster? |
You don't go faster, unless it feels better......
If that makes sense. Does to me.

Even though the set on the car was "relatively new" - one had a durometer reading that said it was "hard". I had gone out for a session and came in (first session) and we discussed (after Ron measured things 10 ways to Sunday).... the handling. When I FINALLY shut up -- Ron said -- The right front was causing the exact issue I was describing... and the choice was to replace that tire.... I replaced them all. Next session the issue I had described went away... and when I came in I was asked if the car was locking up the rear brakes anywhere.... "why yes! as a matter of fact they do".... He says --- The rotors are telling me you have too much rear bias. Out it came with a couple turns.... and BINGO my lockup issue went away.
THEN HE STARTED TO WORK ON THE NUTS BEHIND THE WHEEL.
So first we worked on getting tire pressures and brakes right.... and between sessions we got schooled on things to think about etc. As the car became consistent - and I gained confidence that it would drive the same way it did the last session... and the tire pressures were up to maximum contact patch (and heat)... Then the nut could begin to use less brake - drive deeper - and explore different turn in points.
It was the best money I've ever spent "on the car". Not only that - unlike Charley - he is fun to hang with.
