Thanks Derek. Tires are good I get them with 4 to 6 heat cycles on them. Only problem is it really needs camber plates. After a day at the track the outside is down to the cords. I think the biggest change with my lap times is from the brake pads. During our Chumpcar race last year at Thompson I picked up on a different line in the oval that probably help a tenth or two. Looks like your car is turning well and you can get on the gas early. Racing Watkins Glen Memorial Day Weekend in the SVO Chumpcar it should be fun.

Remarkable day for me. Wasn't even thinking about a PB but the AIM times were dropping nicely after a leisurely warm-up. Thought I was just going to scrub last event's OPR off and get a feel for a damp track. Turns out it was nearly dry and "on-line" was certainly dry. Go-time! Got kind of ragged hustling the car, especially at hairpin.



I'm a noob in the instructor ranks, but my student and I made significant progress on that side too. Very satisfying when the lights start coming on. Double red letter day for me.



As always, a work in progress.

Finally got to drive on COTA. Awesome track, really hard not to turn in too early on some of the turns.

My AIM data and in car video didn't work but I have some go pro laps. The video stops about half way through each race because of overheating.

Best time was in race 3
2:32.9

HP 359 weight 3470
