Write Up of Test Weekend @ Sears Point

I finally got around to posting a write-up of my track weekend at Sears Point last week. It includes some information on what we learned from the suspension set-up, so I thought some of you might be interested in reading it.

Check out my blog here.

I'm actually in Littleton, New Hampshire right now for the Team O'Neil rally school. I'll be taking pics and posting about the school in my blog, so check it out later this week if you're interested in following along.

thanks for sharing.

did you keep any of the tire temp readings from the second day? did the temps run as wanted from edge to edge of the tire? iow was your camber/ psi right for the track/ tire?
I'm not qualified to make a point but the front back temp difference will haunt you forever in the evo, from what I can see.

My tire temps from the outside and inside edges were about right, although for some reason the tires had very low temps in the center. It was true when we ran low and high pressures so I have no idea why that would be the case (might be a poor tow setting).

As for pressures, they were all right at 35-36psi hot when I came in. All good.
