In your first video, looks like maybe you jerked the wheel which upset the car? I've read that the harder the suspension, the smoother you have to be.

Run three looked very good.

Just need to work on backsiding those cones. I do too.

You gonna bring out the work car?

I think it would be awesome to see one come out!

In OKC, the sheriffs have a track they use to train for high speed driving and they rent the track out to car clubs for HPDEs and stuff. They'll bring a cruiser out every so often to show how well a police interceptor can hang with the big boys!

Just so you know, Pennington field is small, tight, and relatively slow. You probably won't even hit the rev limiter in second gear because you'll go no more than about 3 or 4 slalom cones before it's time to do a tight 180 u-turn. Anything you can do to improve handling and grip will give you the best results.

Since you're running SM you'd do well to get a second set of wheels and some meaty DOT-R Kumho V710s or Hoosiers. Once you get serious of course.

If you don't want to have to do any work (and swap tires, STU limits AWD to 245 tires), then running N-SM doesn't hurt you too bad.

STU: 0.830
SM: 0.860

So a PAX run of 40 seconds would be 33.2 (STU) and 34.4 (SM).

To get into STU legally you'd have to take off your tune, cams, cam gears, etc. Too much work IMO.
