Nice pics Adam, Get them tires and you'll be in the hunt..

Patrick, I was thinking on the way home and remembered you were on the mix set of tires. Your loose handling is likely 80% due to the sticky new in front and the older tires in back. I know I could tell the difference in the way my car handled when I had rs3 and star spec mixed. When you can get the rear set I bet things will settle down a bunch. Happy Birthday and hope you can make it down a few more times this year.

Ya I've still got those nt555's inthe back that are a 300 treadwear so not nearly grippy enough but it could be worse. The suspension was set too stiff though like you said. I could feel the back end trying to bobble out on me a bit when I went over any kind of crack or bump.

Yeppers, sure thing....I'm glad you had some good runs in my car. You will be doing the same with yours as soon as you get those rears.

Happy Birthday !

Thank you Jerrett for a great day out there on the track. it was interesting having a second course for the afternoon runs....I liked it !
