Thanks Peter.
Here is a Video of one of my TT1 competitors. Car is a Gen 3 (I think) Viper built by Archer Racing. Keith is the founder and co-owner of HP tuners and this is the fastest non ACR-X/Comp Coupe there is IMO. IHis maintained speed through the esses is UNREAL!!!! Car looks super stable.
Keith ran a sticker set of Pirelli's on Sat, and then another set on Sunday when he won with a 1:55.7 vs my 1:55.8. Him and Troy Messer are neck and neck for the TT1 "World Championship" and man is it ever competitive! Going to come down to the very last race at Sebring in Nov.

Yes, but not on track. Drove up there last year for the NARRA event, drove the opening out lap and car died on the back straight, coasted to pits, dash lit up like christmas tree. Alternator had died, but it was throwing so many codes I wasn't sure, so took a nap and drove back home.
.65 laps at 2/10ths pace completed for 11hrs driving.
A compliment from Rad! Now that is something to be proud of!
Slicks are 265/640/18 front and 325/650 rear. It's only rubbing on one side which is the right rear which has less negative camber than the left rear. I think more negative camber might solve the issue. Otherwise going to a 325/640 or 305/645
My rear camber is super low right around 2.0. Front's are more normal well over 3. It's staggered a bit as the setup is for Road Atlanta which is mostly right handers. Big rear camber does not put power down exiting corners so I keep the rear tires flatter. Plus I'm well under the acceptable geometry range for the stock uprights so it prevents tire explosions. And the 12.5 inch wheels don't allow too much without rubbing spring.
It's a compromise, but it works.
The JIC are custom valved and I've been running variations of them for 7 years. They are as good as anything on smooth surfaces, but struggle when it's bumpy. I know them so well, I feel like I will have to start over with a new setup. And can never make up my mind on the amount of adjustments. Honestly something like the JIC (single adjustable) with great curb manners, would be perfect.

I also don't want a 3 way setup headache as I do not travel with a race team, and Motion Control is local, so Lex will get first dibs if I decide to upgrade.

Understood. Yes they are 16g's. but I am selling this set rebuilt by me, new bodies, new shafts, hoses etc for $6g's.
As for headaches we take care of all that with constant support via phone after every session.
You won't go wrong with these or the MCS
Thanks for the response!
