@steveespo , i was told by someone else he had never seen anyone consistently execute that curb in the uphill. my car being so soft, it can hit things proper race cars can't. i used the inside curb at t1 in mid ohio a lot too... same story.

the car was slightly upset but i was faster cutting the distance.

i tried the curbs in right hander and west bend... i could get on them just fine, coming off was a problem.

i also had to fully commit to the curb. the beveled edge pushed me out wide. the curb has to be attacked so that the car would set its right sides fully on the flat top

Guess it helps you keep the momentum going up the hill. My car definitely does not like those curbs

2013 V6 Mustang auto
275/40R18 Hankook R-S4
100 -ish lvs reduced

this is notable to me because I had never been to Summit Point, and this was the only session I drove in my own car there... ever

Car info is in the build thread, so is adding that a bit outdated? Did use my vorshlag plates to get -3.2 camber. First time not running in a novice group and PB went down 5 seconds :)

As to the car info being outdated... lap times are dependent upon many factors such as model year, mods, and tires. I don't believe we should expect the moderator to go to our build pages and pull car info. It's enough that they cut and paste to the front page of this thread.

If lap times are no longer being pulled to the first page, then I agree that it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, you are right it is lazy af. Shouldn't be cutting corners like that.
