That was Howard - funny how you don't even notice it when you're driving.
The Nitto NT01s let me keep speed thru turns like never before - and I could really get into the Baers, but you're right - I still don't have that level of confidence to push it.
Lots of pussy-footin due to lack of seat time, but still...I was doing 2:20s fairly regularly - what's a good time?
Some interesting stats...
The car is over 4300lbs with me in it - plus I start with 3/4 tank - and end with less than 1/4 - it burns thru more than 1/2 tank during a session - maybe 2-3mpg. 160+ on the back stretch, 150+ on the front, 110 up the esses. I'm asking a lot of the NT01s - they would heat up quickly and stick - then too hot and get greasy. I was doing a bit of drifting then - tho very predictable, controllable and consistant. I could finally do some steering with the throttle.
Tell you what tho - I can't wait to get out in the track turd...and leave the 500 in car shows. Don't want to push my luck.
