Thanks Mills. Front brakes need to be upgraded. There just isn't enough stopping power with the 295 R6's. Power steering pump isn't working. I am sore this morning from muscling the car around yesterday. Other than that the car sticks but the driver needs to relearn Sonoma. I left after the 3rd session and still had the fastest time in TT1 but that's not saying much.....there was only 3 of us in that group.

No comment other than regardless of how much I've spent I was probably faster back then

I sometimes think some of the
Changes slow things down but time
might prove otherwise
A car without the power steering can really
mess you up

Glassman I can tell you for sure

Hey Gaetano. Great to finally meet you.

I was up on the hill during two of your sessions that ran before our qualy and race to spot for Davy. I noticed that you are leaving around 1/3 of the track width unused coming out of t-2.

Just an FYI

True, I remember when I used to be all the way to the outside of two and slightly sideways there at least a couple of the laps out of the session.

Trust me when I tell you I felt like a total retard out there this last time out. Trying to pin point the issue. Getting used to the 295 Hoosiers up front is one of them in conjunction with my power steering pump going out.
Tire probe temps are telling me I need to change my alignment.
My last and final excuse is wheel time. Last time I was out at that track was 8 years ago. I thought I was going to be able to jump back on the horse and ride like nobody's business. Not even close.

What I do know is that I will be spending alot more time out at sonoma so I can get back into the groove.

BTW...it was great to put a face to the name. See ya' soon

Thanks for the compliment Bob. Like I mentioned above....wheel time, wheel time. Car feels way different with the bigger, stickier tires up front. The steering is heavier but that feeling could be from the pump.

Regardless, I'll figure it out.
