It got up to the mid-80's in Austin on that day. I had a lot more push and a some more sideways moments late in the afternoon sessions. At the end of the video (after the strange freeze-frame... I can't explain that), I passed the MR2 Turbo I'd been chasing on the front straight, then over-cooked it into turn 4 and 5. Rookie mistake. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Tom, I definitely felt lucky to be there. I'll pay for it in August though.

Part of the learning, part of the fun!

Yep, I often end up with cold tire pressures at the end of the day or the next morning of 22-24 psi after bleeding them during the day. If these are MPSCs, they like a lot of heat to run well/need to be hot.

Speaking of adjustments, I'm going to hijack my own thread. Are Bilstein adjustable coilovers stock on a '96 C4?
Ed, yes, I took it over to the on-site mechanic before the first session and he aired me down to 33 PSI. I kept airing down to that pressure all day (with my gas station counter pen gauge). I look forward to experimenting with that pressure in the future.

My supposition is 33psi is a high number to start with. I used to start in the high 20's, which varied a bit from tire to tire.
Adjustables would not be stock.
