Buttonwillow punishes all tires. It's a dust bowl, and usually hot as hades.

golgo13, track out more!.

I saw you shaking your head when you missed an apex, so you know you were a little hot on that entry. But seriously nice driving.

You have the upgraded rear diff and ACD reflash. So here is something to play with next time you are out. Take just a tad off your corner entry so you can get clean into the apex, then experiment with going more aggressively after the throttle as you approach apex and through the exit. The toughest part of this is getting after the pedal slightly before you want the power to hit (lag).

With the diff and acd reflash you can get the rear end to rotate better through the apex and get a better run out of the corner. You can also work with trail braking to get the same effect on corner entry. But from my TT times, our cars are always served better by controlled in and hard out than even slightly over driving an entry. Once they start plowing, you lap time is shot.
