I forgot to mention that, we had to wait for point-by's... I was instructing the new guys so I was limited to certain run groups. If it was open passing I would have passed that Viper in a couple of spots...

That's what I'm going to run at Road America next month - 18x9.5 NT03 with 265/35-18 Yokohama A048's. Are you running the +27 offset with spacers in front?

Awesome vid. Are you doing anything to aid against oil starvation in high G corners or just running a little more oil than usual?

actually running +40 with big spacers upfront. this way I can easily rotate all 4 corners when needed.
