    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?

    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.
    M3 is always the answer.
