I have done both 3rd and 4th in the infield including the exit to the banking. It is easier to carry speed through the apex when not down shifting (doesn't overslow). Times are about the same and keeping the revs down when not needed is better for reliability. I had the tall 680 height tires this weekend, 650 tall tires or 315/30-18 Hoosiers would have helped with acceleration and top speed at this course. That is partly why Nick was able to pull me so bad down the back straight.Nice steve! Charlotte looks nice!
I have 2 questions
Have you tried to drop in 3rd in the infield? I think there is a lot of time there. Especially cause tq at 3k is really low..
Oil temp. How do you read it on Aim?
I have only been on 2 tracks....Mid-Ohio and CMS Roval and both were fun as hell (which..let's face it, if Hell isn't fun, what is the point in being there?) The tight turns...the high-speed turns. The fast stretches. Going 140+ mph on the straights, having to actively turn the car on the banks and trust the tires, then coming into that hard brake....Great stuff! I did my 2nd day of the GT350 track attack on their regular Bridgestone street tires just to feel how a car behaved when it was not glued to the pavement with PSC2s...which was great!First time at Charlotte Roval. Very intimidating Track!

Sorry. Still working through mic issues.
Nice to see you there Duane. I corded my right front after two sessions (Goodyear Supercar 3 with about 12 track days on them) and was not comfortable with the surface anyway from safety standpoint so I headed home Saturday night. It was fun while it lasted!!
Yeah between my tire and the dirt and sand on the track and pieces of the track coming up I figured I had gotten what I wanted to get- run at an old NASCAR track, experience some banking, and live to tell the tale...d00d it didn't get better. A section of the curb exiting that RH hairpin broke up sometime Sunday afternoon. I reported it to a NASA offiical once we got off track and walked one over to show him where it was ... he was radioing it in right as a BMW ran right over it and it busted into abotu 3 sections and send concrete dust everywhere... he kept going too....
