John is going through a lot in his life right now, he's even talking about selling his 944TS race car. I'm a little bummed that he won't be going up to Hallett (well, he might change his mind)

We would love for the BMW Club to let us run, but they wont allow Cup cars...other P cars they welcome, but no cups. I think a Cup can go 2:10-2:11 there...You can fly the blind hill but need to do some real cleanup work when You land as You have to get all the braking done in the compression landing zone and bleed the rest of the speed into the carrousel. The ricochet is a tap/breathe and go. Just guessing of course....

JayP, you can't judge the line based on my video. I was trying to get out of John's rear view mirror, I wanted to force him to look around. Also, my car had massive oversteer on exit but was beautiful at entry. That's why I dove in so much but lost ground on exit.
Glen, they only had 8 cars at the last race. I think they might change their mind for the next one.

Yup.
As an aside, George...I wonder if your car is too stiffly sprung?

I was also checking out John's line.
The turn up the hill, both cars were in the inside. I've been hugging the right then making the turn uphill. All I get is wheelspin.

I don't know what's it's called and every group seems to have a different number for corners.

I'm just saying....You have had all sorts of handling problems that might all be related to having 1700 lb springs.

Dave, I really haven't had any time to tune it. We did all the testing/tuning with the kinematic toe set to the opposite of it's proper position. It was only at the last PCA CR that John looked under my car. Looking back at it, it makes perfect sense. As I would load the back end of the car, the loaded corner would toe out, not good. 993's and their kinematic toe are finicky little creatures if not set properly.

The stiffer the better or @ least that's what she said
I had 1500+ on the back of the RSA & mid 1300s up front. George has about 300 Lbs. more weight to carry so he needs a little more. I loved my set-up!
