Finally got a chance to run the 315 Falkens at the NNJR finale and couldn't be happier with the results. Was 1-2 finish for me and the old man in CAM, and a 27th overall PAX finish out of 108 drivers (including 21 Pro's at the event). This season didn't live up to our expectations, but taking the class win at the finale was the high point of the year after facing parts supply issues, unexpected repairs, cancelled events, and everything else that was thrown at us.
On the 285 Falken/18x10 tire setup the car was pretty competitive even with a blown rear Koni yellow (unbeknownst to me until last week). For this last event we swapped in the new Viking Berserker double adjustables, a smaller 20mm rear bar, and the 18x11/315 Falken combo. All I can say is what a difference! The car was better across the board and far easier to drive to the limit. We still have some rear shock tuning to do (first time with doubles), but I know the car is only going to get faster as we fine tune it. As we rack up some more miles on the Vikings I'll post a review, but with ~500 miles on them I am VERY impressed with both the street & autocross manners
We've got two more events left on schedule for this season to continue dialing in the car: 11/7 PCA at Tobay beach and 11/13 MSNE at Metlife
During the off-season I'm going to explore some street friendly CAM-C aero, look into a driveshaft upgrade, and maybe some more weight reduction to get closer to 33XXlbs. Looking forward to picking your minds as we head deeper down the CAM rabbit hole lol

The car still has a little low speed push, but I think some more compression/rebound tuning in the rear can compensate until we re-align the car next year with slotted struts and more camber to up the front grip.
Best,
