You answered your own question. Kevin let me borrow his trunk for a session. Typically, without the wing, through Big Bend I either had to be easy on the throttle leading up to turn in or I had to modulate it after the apex in order to make it around the turn. I put the wing on and within a few laps was going through it flat out(that is how I drive ). I seriously never would have thought it was that helpful. My speeds at the end of that straight were 103-104 without the wing and a consistent 107 with the wing. I would love to go back for an entire weekend with a wing to see how much more I could improve with it.

All that being said, my biggest slide through Big Bend (and about the only time that I almost shat myself this weekend) came with the wing on the car.

 

The wing will also allow later braking at the end of the front and back straights but you have to brake hard right away when the wing is giving the most downforce.

 

S2k friends, will any of you be joining us at the Fall Finale? It won't be the same without you! http://eepurl.com/G3puL

Thanks and hope to see you soon,

Jon

 

Anyone else going to be running at the Fall Finale at Summit Main? I'm on the fence for signing up. Do they usually sell out or can you usually register last minute?

 

Do it! Very fun event.

It has sold out in prior years, but who knows how this year will be. Online reg closes like the Wednesday night prior, at-track regs cost $50 more.

 

Oooh me me! Planning to as of now at least. It's always a nice finale to the season.

 

It did feel better, but I have not quite trusted it yet...however, I did notice times when I'd just leave the pedal flat in the Big Bend and go...I don't remember ever being flat out without the wing the previous event end of September. I also am probably not quite as sensitive to changes as some of the more advanced drivers though.

 

I'm holding out for a 1 day sign up hopefully.

 

PM me back on my FATT offer
