this happened to me in 2022. Crashed hard. Felt like I tripped and face planted while at a full on sprint speed. Cant imagine how folks in these environments survive - whether it be the athlete themselves or the crew.The big part folks don't...- TeeLew reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with
Like.Remember, though, the adjusters are working on the valving that's built into the shocks with the shim stack. Typically, that 2:1 - 3:1 damping ratio is built into the baseline valving and you use the adjusters to tweak from there. That's...

Duane Black replied to the thread Track Time Videos.Looks like the outside is the place to be? Or was it just slwoer traffic holding up the inside?I got a new camera angle for the Muscrat. I built a mount with some PVC pipe and using a GoPro a SpecMiater guy passed off to me.Comparing to a... (see full post)-
I'll add one to the oval videos Here's some Legends in car, good racing inside and outside passing and getting passed. A couple choose cone restarts. There is some vibration blur but it adds to the "being in the car" effect.
- Akel replied to the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence.Hmmm, it would make sense. And I actually might have 2 different calipers back there. One of my boots tore up a few years ago and I replaced one side. Now one side has a caliper with a black booth and the other side has an orange booth. The... (see full post)

- Akel reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.Not agruing here...discussing. I'm curious how you run your dampers.You say, "...you want the compression to be as soft as possible." While I will agree that is 'a' way to run the damping, it's not the only way. I guess I would add to your...
- Akel reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.No, I dont' think it was that particular thing. You have to figure something like that out even for the street. It was more about which coil-overs to buy and those fun little bunny-holes.
So we're going down this rabbit hole? Tire width really messes with a lot of other things and IMO generally falls under the file of demon tweeks to try and make something work that really doesn't want to work, or more likely a rule work around...-
The 3R's are everything I heard about. Big jump for me having only ever ran the PS4's in the past. Yes, they do not grip well in the cold and wet, but they are manageable as long as water is not running across the track or puddling. First two...
Those rear pads look like a big clue to the instability under braking that you’re reporting in your other thread. 3 of the 4 are down to metal but the 4th appears to have decent material left. I suspect you have a sticking or dragging rear...- stevbd replied to the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence.@Akel I responded on your build thread, but those rear brake pad pictures you posted suggest a problem with one of your rear calipers. Which of course would cause all sorts of instability. (see full post)

MikeBard posted a new lap time of 2:12.540 on track configuration VIR Full at track Virginia International RacewayDate of Lap time:Club spec mustang. I was really hoping to be in the 2:10s but I had some issues with the new Gloc pads that threw me for a loop (almost literally). I switched my rears back to some old ebcs I luckily had in my track box and it took me the last 2...
