Just saw Ryan on the dirt and Emilio score a 1:44:841

That session looked like the Baja 1000... lots of offs! And a long full track caution...

Yep, one of our guys on the scene reports car pulled right in front of him and Ryan had to hit the dirt to avoid.

Track was just slightly faster, I drove a little bit better and we have less aero drag. Still plenty of downforce though.

Looking at data compared to last year, we saw a huge increase in drag. A lot more than I expected. So we removed the dive planes off the splitter and the third element off the wing. That helped. Ghetto fix on the catch can worked so we can stay out the whole session. Yesterday I only got two hot laps. Did the 1:44.841 on my 4th hot lap of the weekend. That's time attack. You sometimes only get a few one lap shots at it.

One more adjustment to the handling balance, a bit more data coaching from Sonny, Dan and Andrew. Two more sessions to try for that 1:43 the car should has in it, according to the data.

One of the interviewies with Matt thought Ryan had a V8 coyote motor. Surprise!

Was just gonna post that lololol.

Lol, like a coyote would fit in that frame. Damn things barely fit in a mustang. So wide.

Go E Go.

Alright time for some new Miata records. 3 more sessions to do work.

Raised the rear ride height 2 full rotations on the collars and went full stiff on the sway bar. Finally started to get the load mid-speed Mechanical group balance we've been looking for but the tires are starting to fall off now. 7cycles on the A7's. Went a few tenths slower than it did this morning. Some mistakes on that lap, but other spots that I drove better. So the changes we made to improve the handling balance were balanced out by the front tires falling off.

Still an excess of rear grip so we will put on a fresh set of fronts to get that last bit of balance we seek. 2 more sessions. Come on Vegas, let's do this.

@Twibs415 If i'm guessing the name right did the car not hit 1:52 in the first session?

Group D C (commentator cannot count) are out but the commentator just said Emilio is out and a miata is pestering an Evo. That certainly sounds like Emilio :D Two entries?

Group be doesn't have Sonny in it now and does have a red miata who is that?

Twibs415 is Tarek Latouf. He got his 1:55 though!

Stream audio breaks up like teenagers man

The real question is, does the audio break up more or does the announcer yell at people on the wall more?

How did they loose it there? 180 spin into the wall?

Commentator trying to say Emilio's surname was a treat for the ear. Numpty

Emilio set 1:46.749 on his last lap no less chasing camnam or namcam car (whatever way round it is the commentator has said it so much ive blocked it out).
Ryan set 1:47.387 although came in early.

Bret in Group E repping the miata too. Is he on here?

I am SO excited seeing you guys genuinely most interesting than F1

Also Ulrik, high school kid in the red NA is into the 51's I believe.

Twibs into the 1:54's now during his last session good work man.
