It was indeed a great day. I feel bad about leaving early.. but it just wasn't in me today. I had to come home and sleep it off. See everyone the 23rd!

Just got back... beautiful day for an autox. Nice meeting Aaron, and hanging out with Bill (with his tail happy new car) and Pete- who is still much faster than me
Your catching up. I used to beat you by more than a second, now it is by ~.5 second. Perfect weather for an autoX.

I had a GWS autoX Sunday. This was a faster course (I designed it), I was hitting the rev limiter in 2nd gear and FTD (me) was 47.xx seconds. I had major problems with understeer and also some snap oversteer issues too. I spun on 3 of my runs and the rest of the time I was plowing along. I think that 1) my recent alignment shifted because the car feels like it has no front -camber or 2) my Comptech swaybar (set one stop back from full stiff) is too dam stiff. I will try and set it at a lower setting. What tire pressures are you running with the RA-1s? I kept lowering pressures to try and increase grip (now running 31 rear and 33 front cold pressures).

congrats on sunday.... I was running real low at the autox. 28 up front and 29 in the back cold. (what george told me to do for the track) My front bar is on hole 3 of 6... so im on the softer side.

Track pressures are usually lower than autoX pressures since the tire will get a lot more heat in it at the track. I use 28-29 cold rear and 31 cold front on the track but have usually used 2-3 lbs more psi cold for autoX. Maybe I need to go lower? You ever get any rollover at those pressures?

My car felt very good... I wasnt understeering really at all and oversteering a little. I should have played around a little with the pressures. Im not good enough yet to give you a full detailed description
