Thanks Mike. Switching to Hankook Z214 C51's from NT01's and getting pointers from Chromium 24 last month was a tremendous help.

Oh, I forgot to mention some of the faster 3.8 GT3 RS managed 1:59 3 weeks ago and you have 130 less Hp.

Stig!

You certainly got us all fire up. It's easy to drive a big power car and feel all warm and fussy about our track performance. We need good driver like you to remind us power is not everything (well ... almost) and skill is what counts.

Where did I put my nitrous canister ...

Found this when I got home. Add Endless ME20's to the list of pads that are good to the backing plate.

Now that's a hard working brake pad! Endless is a great brake pad. Not sure about ME20 pads. I run N05U on my Cup and they are fantastic and last and last

Hey guys, I'll be at THill on Sunday the 28th.

However given that so many of you will be there on Saturday, I may want to come down just to learn from you guys.

Got the Centerlock campaign done, but I'm still concern about these darn wheels. Need to learn how to properly inspect and torque them, since I've never done it before. I'm willing to be a wrench monkey in exchange for some GT3 Track wisdom.

Almost forgot. For the GT3 Sensei's, if you have any tips for this eager grasshopper, feel free to send it my way.
