Special Thanks to Hubert Young for organizing this track day.
Big thanks to Rob for helping me bleed the air out of my master cylinder
the night before.
This was my first trip back to the track since I had the Griggs
Watts Link installed and I'm going to have to break some old IRS
habits but the grip from the rear was excellent. As you'll hear, I had
quite a bit of understeer but that will be tuned out before my next track
event. It definitely didn't hurt my lap times too much as I again improved
my personal best running this track config so I can't wait to find out
what it does when it's dialed in. My last time running up over the
top of T5 netted me a 2:10 but this day I was able to run consistent
2:09's then a single 2:08.81 according to my longacre hot lap timer. The
other nice part to the day was that I didn't drive home with any broken
parts! WhooHoo!!
Enjoy
the footage!

| Session 1. 3/4 of
Lap 2 and I'm following Stan B's GR40'd Saleen. The noise you hear
from my car in T3 and T5 is brake moan from the new rear Hawk HP
Plus's. It went away once the pads had worn down a bit. |
