Marc, turn 5 was the worst turn for me at lightning. I felt like I was on the verge of losing traction whenever trying to turn in towards the apex. My first session I got nervous and braked a little and learned that that was a big no no.

My goal is to get comfortable with that turn next time I'm there. Video does it no justice.

Nice vid, 13.8 is flying. I was on 255/40 star specs on oem rims

you sure you don't mean your car was 3260 with you in it... 2260 would be kinda light. we have around the same power. I did 315whp on Petey's dyno with 22.5psi but I'm only running 19-20 at the track according to EVOScan.

I saw some of your autox vids from Hershey. You should come join us at a Philly SCCA event. we have this guy named Chu, you might have heard of him. He's pretty fast, just took first in SM last weekend I heard.

I would be in adrenaline withdraw if I were in your shoes... I think I had it over the weekend as is. I couldn't figure out why I was in a bit of a funk, thats what I'm attributing it too. Even autoxing Sunday I didn't feel 100%.

you could drop couple seconds if you were on some nice rcomp tires.


yeah, i meant to say 3260 lbs. i do want to hit up so autox in philly this year. my car won't be completive in XP though as far as PAX, but RAW time will be interesting

I've got that one on the schedule too along with the 16th-17th PCA Schattenbaum event @ both NJMP courses. If everything goes planned i should be instructing for that trackdaze one. anyone wanna be my student.

I think I have maybe another second out there on street tires without touching anything on the car. there are a couple places I could have pushed harder if the track wasn't as damp and I'm still not fast enough thru 2-3-4.

From your AX videos it looks like your car is quick, you should def come out for an event or two. we have a great time, just like we did @ Lightning, and there is a strong EVO showing (obviously). Are you doing any national events this year with the car?
