Where the hell did that NASCAR come from?!?!

I watched the vid a few times, maybe I'm totally wrong, but that didn't really look like a brake pad or tire issue - there where 3 to 4 corners prior to that where the car looked planted on corner entry and the tires would have had some time to warm up by then.
You are looking much better with the sequential and getting faster - congrats. Now that you are a cup driver and you are going fast out there - you don't have to keep waving a thank you for point bys - keep your hands on the wheel.
The other thing I saw in the video, and you mentioned you were dialing in new shocks, was that your front seems to be pogoing around quite a bit - I could be totally wrong as if you aren't in the car you never really can tell, but it sure looks like it is bouncing around.

For some reason all the fast guys are in some form of GT3 and it helps that we all know each other which makes it fun to mix it up

I keep on telling myself not wave when I get a point by ... just a bad habit
Your observation was spot on. The shocks were extremly soft out of the box and we make small adjustment with each session. It is 80% fix but more fine tune needed to tighten everything down

I need to get back out there with you guys
Maybe I will come out when Serge is done with the 4.0, we can be rusty and slow together while you lap us Mike

I haven't seen you on track since your collant hose went bust. Hope you got that fix a while back. Serge's 4.1 is going to take a billion years. Just come join us at the track next month ... Reno

Oh yeah ... now we are talking!
My Cup pass sound at Thunderhill (103 db) without issue. I run Akrapovic evolution race config shown below with 100 cell cats which is basically 08 and up Cup exhaust config but much lighter

Auto blipper will be installed in couple weeks. Sounds like you got hooked on Thunderhill I been busy with my Z06. Just got it wrapped with clear film and it too will be track ready in a month or so.
