Sean - trust me, driving/placing the 930 and the SC are night and day... that's why I was thinking of Colin. Thanks for the input though, I do appreciate it. Maybe BKS can take a look too. Of course I won't be back there until at least May so it's kind of a lost cause...

11 is the last turn onto the main straight, yes? I will keep that in mind, thanks.. BTW - I may run the SC at LRP in November, finish the motor off... think you will have a car?

Yup, the last turn before the front straight. I learned to pick up time there taking it as early as possible and going all the way out on the curb at exit, way before the DE track out cone. If you walk the track there you'll see there is a huge amount of camber working in your favor.

oh man, I better have a car

I hope to be there as well. I'm not putting this thing to bed for the winter not running right. Hopefully, I'll use that event to prove it's fixed before the winter.

Thanks, that's got to be worth at least 1 second if not more. 11 just never felt "right" to me. I normally don't brake for 10 and by the end of day 1 I was taking it faster. Not sure about a later turn-in but the track out felt right.

Gary, look me up when you get to WGI, I have lots of laps in there in a 911 Turbo.

Thanks Geoffrey, I sure will! Think I will put the video up as a new post to alleviate the boredom now that our season is almost done... will give me a lot to mull over during the next 5 months i'm sure!
