Riding with James certainly does not make me think smooth, more like crazy! Really, the oversteer in the video is driver induced, he was really pushing it and left time on the table in those spots.

Yep, went and watched it again. I still think he's smooth. Sure, pushing it but smooth. I could tell the oversteer was driver induced but I only saw one corner with any kind of push. The car looks well composed. That's with Kooks?

Yes, kooks. We fought push today as the tires overheating. Our run group was hot and sunny this time, so many could not improve their early times.

Yeah, with all those tight sweepers and 180s, if your car pushes, you're doomed. Can't wait to get back into the fray.

Did you feel the tires after a run? Could you keep your hand on them? Were you spraying with water if too hot for your hand? Here is AZ we are constantly spraying in the summer months after each run.

We did spray on the last two or three runs I think.

Here are my videos from Lincoln. Day 1 was on Dunlops since I really thought the weather wasn't going to get that hot. Day 2 was on Hankooks.

Congrats to Yom, Thorne, and Collett. Great driving guys!

Thanks again for all the kind words guys! I wrote a lil blurb in the Lincoln event post here. Again, huge thanks to Dave Crusoe (Robinson on S2ki) for the co-drive opportunity! Although it's the "wrong" car for the class, it sure did well! Now let's do something about that stock exhaust and Walmart battery Dave!
