Does PCA allow passengers at the TT?
Only if the driver or passenger is an instructor.Quote:

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Great weather too. Watching your video it interesting, I have to get on the throttle much earlier coming out of the corners with my miata power.
Results are coming in...

Watching my video from a year ago is depressing. I was busting my butt on Saturday and was 0.75 seconds slower. Wish I ran data.
How fresh are your tires compared to that video? If the tires were new for the video, but same ones last week-end, that could easily explain the difference. Did you have the wing on the car for the previous run in the video? If so, same angle on the wing? Maybe it is slowing you enough on the straights to make a difference?Quote:

I knocked a little over a second off my time when I reverted back to the inside line again on the 1 year old Kumho XS tires. But I can tell these tires are not working as good as they did when new. Therefore my comment above about your tires, FWIW. BTW, liked the way your car looked on track with the picnic table in back. :-)
Good event, enjoyed seeing all you guys.
I helped? I'm sorry. ;)Quote:

Jerret kept telling me it was all in the tires (I just couldn't figure out what joke he was playing with me). The car was just a handful all weekend and was very difficult to keep on line. The car setup is a lot more dialed in than it was though. I am making more power (I know I was trapping >5mph faster at end of straight in morning), better alignment, better suspension setup, and a little less weight.
I also drove Jerret's car (with fresh tires) on Sunday and it was worlds different with grip.

Yeah I wouldn't want to run them at MW though... $$$$$. Looking at alternatives for out there. Especially for TT.Quote:

The app is around $10, the 10mhz GPS receiver is around $75.
Maybe it was your full out drift through turn 1Quote:
