I am running an AST Miata this year. Vitours are terrible and worse than normal street tires in wet/cold. Wish I had never bought them, but luckily still have a set of A052s. When I have the A052s on, it’s a different car. Hoping the Vitours might work better when we get into 85-90 degree weather here.

Vitour Front/Stone combo again. I have somewhere around 140ish runs on the fronts and they still have a lot of life left. I'm quite happy with that - I may get 200 runs out of the fronts?!?! I feel like on yokes I'd be lucky to get 80ish...

We ran in the 1st heat at somewhere around 80ish degrees out. Sunny, barely a breeze. Co driven. Didn't believe for a second the evo would have done well on this course when walking it...

Awesome to see a bunch of evo drivers signed up for Nationals - it's going to be a battle....

one of the front loss nitrogen pressure. I think the needle valve maybe leaking?

Found out when we were changing the springs for clearance, hopefully it’s all good.

Racecapture or similar devices - has anyone gotten RPM / throttle to OBDII at an acceptable rate? I'm assuming this is a limitation of OBDII / the Evo generally. I'm not going to a standalone any time soon..

Nope, I tried a few different ways and spent some time trying to figure out how to speed up logging rate on the openport2.0 usb logger. IIRC it was something like 10hz max I was able to get without using EvoScan.

Its one of the great things of standalone ECU, I have all the data logging any time I go over X throttle or Y rpm for Z time. And it buffers so its always rolling data to save as soon as it see X or Y. So i get all the info from even before I get to the line.

yeah the data is basically useless for us as well. I only have rpm and throttle input and it’s too laggy to help

First heat is best, get it done early and enjoy the rest of the day.

that sunrise in the eyes, long shadows on a wavey lot and the dark side of cones messes with (my) depth perception. atleast this time I'm aware thats what it looks like out there at the break of dawn.
