i made the kids sleep down stairs on the first floor also, worrying about the roof flying off and trees falling.

my fastest lap at Thunderbolt with no chicane to date. 1:27.1
don't think i'll go any faster since i'll be dropping to lower class next year with less power.

click on link to watch it on youtube.

Interesting to see you using more of the track after taking some advice from the z driver. I attempted to use the rumble strip on T1 at lightning until either Tim or Dan said to stay away from it, at least with my level of driving.

The rumble strip at the apex on T1 at Lightning really upsets the car in my experience. I hit it sometimes, but avoid it for the most part. I find Turn 5(?) doing the jump; you have to ride the curb as much as possible for a smooth transition over the crest.

At TB, exiting T1, and going into T2, you can place the entire car onto the strip. You can see Thai do it in the video. You can use all of the curbs at TB to your advantage.

My comment was a joke referring to Thai dropping two wheels on the exit of 1 and sliding and spinning across the track to the top of 2.

^ i've driven in my friends 350z with Furtune Auto 500 coilovers. he said they felt just as good as his Ohlins R/T on his Evo 10. i'm about to ditch my Ohlins R/T and go with FA Dreadnought Pro next year.

i know ineedmoreexcuse has FA 510 on his Evo9, but he's still slow as heck on track though, i don't think it has to do with the coilovers though.
