Yup Better use of Dunlop's drag racing that is , Wouldn't waste a new set of Cup2's going straight

That activity probably makes one feel young again LOL

All right, finally a clear lap. 2:169

BGB guess have been put to work!

Dropped Dunlops to 33 hot.
Bars; full stiff in the rear middle front.

Feels like less toe in or even a bit toe out front due to lowering the car a couple of clicks in front and turn rear. Bit looser also but controllable.

A bit less stable under hard braking and hopefully no rubbing!

2+ sec it seemed that with traffic made it really tuff . still didn't crack 20 sec barrier
the wind wasn't as brutal as the rain that was good for 25 sec. loss Thursday

They can bring out the pace car. Traffic is crazy busy. Had 2 clean laps all day.

I must say that they last better due to more even wear than the Michelins?! Strange opinion here was that they don't lay but this is day 3 and they look good!

Kobalt,

That is my plan so far, but most of the days during the week are limited to only a couple hours in the evening from 5:30-7:30pm. I'm assuming this is because clubs have the track reserved. Sunday is wide open so my plan is to go that day. Trying to fit Spa into the picture as well, but I can't figure out their schedule. Peter and I have started an email chain, so hopefully in the next couple months I will get this ED dialed!

Oops spoke to soon.

Strange enough the right rear (was on the left rear only the first day) is done.
Fronts and left rear look good

Erik's left rear blew out and went for a wild ride but kept it out the wall!
That's the second blow out this weekend!

I had fun chasing a green driver in a 991 CUP that would not point me by
