Yeah, we were there. It was fun and I don't really know how 1.8t did because I was hyper focused on trying to win. It was really crazy. It can down to the last run with my rival (350z) being .01 seconds faster on the prior run. Well, he shaved down his time by .1 seconds and I shaved mine by .4 seconds but I hit a cone. Pretty sad but great racing none the less.
There isn't another SCCA event until Oct. 2 but I'll keep my eyes peeled for something local in the mean time.

Matt,
Mark here. Hey, thanks for the rides. Those hoosiers can stick it!
On the other hand, as you know, I was bad loose, and I'm tryin' to figure out if it was me, the setup, or oil on the track.
Gran Turismo set me up with front camber -1.1 and toe .02. They set the rears at -1.4 and .08.
According to some posts on s02 pressures, I dropped from 40 all around to 37f/35r.
Lastly, I finally ejected the spare and sub from the trunk.
Jay Parcon was thinking the spins happened from rolling over on sidewalls due to low pressures.
Planning on returning the pressures next time.
Any thoughts?

Hey Mark, you know, that's a fairly conservative alignment. I would think that the tire pressures had more to do with the spins than the alignment. I know that when I went to 2.4* in the rear, the car felt more planted on the street. And 35 in the rear is really low.
Maybe post about your observations to get more peoples opinions.
Oh, and if we would have thought about it, I could have put my numbers on you car and done one of my time only runs in it to get a feel for myself. Maybe next time.
