ArizonaGT said:Nice shots there! Got any more??
I'm not sure Steve. I looked but couldn't see any spacers or rings but like Grant said there were center caps on them too. A comment was made that the lugs were breaking on the cars that came back from a certain suspension shop which indicated it was probably due to being overtorqued with a gun. I was told they are not an Enkei wheel, just distributed by them.steveespo said:Gary
Are those Konig wheels hub centric or do the use the studs to center and carry the vehicle gravity loads? If they do, more evidence on why hub centric wheels are the way to go for racing. If not then Ford studs are too cheap for track work.

ArizonaGT said:OK cliff's notes--great weekend, great people, I will post more later after work.
Finally got around to figuring out how to view my laps in Harry's Lap Timer. My last session on Tuesday, I cranked out a couple 2:06 flats and a couple high 2:05s. Here is the video from my fastest lap! I will post up a bunch more videos featuring some great runs with (Moto)Viper, CaptDistraction, and our buddy w/ the FR500S "sometime later" this week.
This video only took about 3 mins to compile with Harry's Lap Timer app on my iPhone, awesome time saver. Normally I'm editing video for an hour in Sony Vegas and overlaying data from Trackmaster just to get a few laps output!

Edit: I dunno why the embed isn't working but the link should work.

Thanks...I thought it was pretty clean. I headed in on the next lap because it felt good. Kept thinking that until I read this:cloud9 said:Great lap Grant! Your line was excellent.
NFSBOSS said:I rode with Mickey late Tuesday and he used a low line through the bowl. The pavement down low has unbelievable grip. Coming out of 12 stay right and enter the bowl low. Light on the brakes and then flat foot it early. Your car will stick and your exit speed will increase.
I also kept wanting to go low too but we were told that wasn't the line. One of Mickey's points about staying low is that if you do lose it you have a lot more track to save you. He said going off backwards in the bowl is not good.Grant 302 said:I had this nagging feeling that lower would be better there...but I studied and memorized that map. Must be the line for higher HP cars. I was thinking with that big a radius *and* the banking that the inside line had to be faster. Looks like I was afraid of 'launching' for no good reason.
SoCalBoss said:Sounds like everybody had a great time. How much track time did you guys get? Hopefully, I can join y'all next time...
LOL. Hey give the super senior credit for getting the GTR to the track! That guy had to be at least 70.cloud9 said:I echo Chris and Drew's sentiments on the quality of driving. Everyone was moving so quickly that it felt like you were by yourself out there. The only rolling chicane I saw had an import badge
You had to remind me as I get ready to go back in June . You were right that was turn 1where he jumped the fence. The one in Canada Corner wouldn't have been as bad if he didn't have enough brake to start the turn. Going straight off there's a massive sand trap to at least slow you down.ArizonaGT said:Here are those two crazy Road America crashes we were talking about by the hot pit wall, if you guys haven't seen them already:
