You joke but the competition at HPDE events is usually much higher than any NASA sanctioned event (at least in California, and if you aren't competing against a man named Andrie).

Yes I suppose so. It's interesting now because there aren't really many organizers in CA that even classify track day events as HPDE anymore except NASA (which hosts awful HPDE events with bad organization and hardly any track time that very few go to). There are many organizers that host mini time attack events on a regular basis where a large variety of cars can put in laps all day and then run a more competitive timed session without following a bizarre ruleset.

educated a noob, how do you use the damper force data to change / improve your setup?

that driver side rear tire is seeing a lot more heat than the others, and it stays hotter on straights. maybe toe is a little off and its scrubbing a bit and therefore staying hotter than the others?

Oh, god, don't tell me that. I'm building a house up there right now, coming from Arizona, which has a pretty alright scene if you're willing to travel into CA/NM. Is it that bad?
