Datalogging shows a 2:22.19 in my last session, unfortunately the video file got corrupted so I don't have a video to back that claim up. First time out on ECR and really enjoyed it. I know I left lots of time out there, can't wait to go back and go faster.

I will post up a video of my 3rd session, will combined bumper and cockpit cams with datalogging overlay.

Sweet looks like my time improved from the last time out at that track by about 6 seconds.

That's too bad. I was hoping to get footage from you since I didn't get any onboard. I was hanging back a bit waiting for Thomas to catch up and then half a lap after I pointed him by they ended the session early.::Rant::

If anyone got video or pics of me on track please let me know. Thanks

He was in ours. He had the grey one, Thomas had the black one.

Group 2 in a grey NC and I pointed both Keno and Goofygrin by at least once but footage from either one wouldn't be more than 10 seconds probably. You two were very fast.

Rogue painted it just before MiataWorld2 and the engine/supercharger and had TDR's hands on them. I can't recall his name.

Last year my fastest lap was a 2:33.847 sec. This year, my fastest lap was a 2:29.720 sec. in the third session. The sun really bothered me in the fourth session.

This year I have the added weight from the roll bar and the hardtop. Last year I was running RT-615's, this year, Dunlop Star Spec's.

EDIT: added speed.

MaxQ says my max speed on the longest straight was 85.3 mph

Sure does look like it's "skipping" in the front. Weird.

Thanks for posting that. It was me. Interesting to see Thomas through the same section too. I'm amazed how fast your Mitsubishi is. You practically reeled me in with me having near a 1000' head start on that back straight.
And speaking of speed down the straight, nice double pass Ken.

Yep, it was noticable in the car. Just added a huge front bar. I think I need to play around with the damping some next time I'm out there.

Turn down the compression...That is what I would try.

The car isn't on the bumpstops (my car is not "dumped" like yours), and no. ;)

This shows one of the "no brakes" cars; the Mazda 6. I pointed him by and he messed up big time right after that in the 1-2 combo. I'm no genius but he sure made me look like one.

Yeah I saw him mess up several times including turning in the wrong way on a few corners!

Here's one of my laps. The memory card ran out before my faster laps later in the session.

I dunno. It looks like the rears have a lot more going on than just skipping due to compression. Rebound looks mismatched for the spring rate.

What tires was Ken running?

nt01's.

Too much or too little rebound? For the front or rear?

You got a ton of use out of them didn't you? This weekend alone you were always out there. Your gas bill must have been $200 each day.

I was very happy with the wear on the NT-01. Several days at MSR, 2 days at Road Atlanta, and the Toys weekend.

Gas consumption was not bad as most of the sessions I did were lead/follow so I did not run the engine hard. I started with a near full tank and only added 8 gals each day. Made it to the Valeo station with plenty to spare.
