Steve,
Penny is a sweet ride. You also had a great driver behind the wheel. The patience and composure he showed when he caught the car in front was great. Adrenaline gets to alot of people in that situation. I'm jealous.

Me too.. that's why I hang around the Pozzis.. I hope some of their mad driving skills will rub off on me. lol

In fact Penny should be arriving at their shop any minute now...

Steve,
I took another look at that in-car video and you can really see how much initial oversteer it had on corner entry. The rear bar was up a notch or two higher than ideal, but I think most of our problem is the rear shock valving. We need to back down the rebound valving, it's pulling the rear end down on every bump and you can hear it in the engine sounds every time I got on it. the car wants to oversteer on turn-in, then settles down a bit. The long left hand sweeper before the main straight was difficult to get around because the rear end wanted to hop there, I couldn't drift the car through there like I wanted to.

Chad, I was wanting around that 69 but the track is difficult to pass on, and I figured it was Stacy Tucker behind the wheel since that's her car ahead of me. I didn't want to push her into making a mistake or getting into trouble. We had very little track time to get used to that track before the timed runs. I think this run was #2, #3 was the timed run.
