I do like the elevation. The run off room or lack there of looks scary!

The one I posted in the FB group had alot of usage and was using slicks. These are becoming wear items like rotors or pads.

Pocono Mega in the books, single day. Weather held off was overcast and cool most of the day.

Double drove the car with my Wife, great day.

Tires are DONEEEEE
Front left went down on track, had to limp it all the way around. Swapped to the street tires for the last cession of the day. The wear was on the inside of the fronts, maybe too much camber?

Nice shots! Sucks about the tire... I'm sure something is off with the alignment, but I can't comment on what.

Guys, both fronts were worn out in the same manner. I haven't checked the alignment in some time, its a good idea.

Getting all set for some Track night in america Tues next week. First time running with SCCA since the autox days about 10 years ago.

New springs. 12k and 10k Feels to me with the big tires the car is rolling over too much. These are in the upper range of what my BCs are valved for, according to tech support.
