Trackspeed @Buttonwillow, 7/30/11 - 1:55.4
Fast, but could/should be faster. Combination of a crappy track, not enough seat time (first time driving it in 4 months), and too low in the rear. |
nice! i like the rally corners! this wasn't on nt-01's was it? if yes, how long does a set last you?
|
I don't really know what I'm talking about, but it looks like the car is bouncing mid-corner and snapping on exit. What does this mean in regards to shock valving?
|
also interested in knowing if this was on nt01's
|
225 NT-01s. I typically get 5 days out of a set. I think the "bouncing" is me struggling with a car that pushes at speed, the exit snaps are likely bumpstops from being too low. I set the rear low to try and get the diff to work better, and it didn't work. Also I sucked at the wheel, those 3 laps chopped into sectors and combined have a theoretical best lap of 1:54.4. |

^^A6's are good for a few hot laps a session.
That 245 NT01 is going to do wonders for your car.

Yeah that's what we now know. He only used them before for Solo1 (our version of TAttack/TT) and it would only be a few hot laps. So we never ran into this before.

Firstly: I can't imagine what 350whp would feel like in one of these cars. Nice driving :)
Secondly and more importantly: here is a video of why hustler wishes he was a honey badger. Note the casual near-death experience with the snake at the end. |

that was my next question. i think next time i'll shave them. my first event on mine was april 2010! i'm just now getting them close to just the 2 cir. lines. thats after driving on them to the track and back a few times including one trip to hallett 12hrs. away. driving them around on the street for a few thousand miles, and after this weekend, probably 35 heat cycles or sessions on them! i don't think i have enough power to get to the good stuff before they start to lose something from heat cycles. although i have run my personal best lap times at the last 2 tracks, i gotta believe the tires have lost a little grip over time. unless they're magical. there's so much tread left, i'd bet i could run the rest of the year without problem. crazy!
Once the 15x10s show up I'll get a set of 245/580 Hoosier radials for hot laps. With some better weather, better chassis setup, and 245 R100 slicks, I think there's a 1:49 in that chassis. |
