Default Doing first NASA event Friday at Lowes - anything different?

Doing first NASA - anything special or different from other track events? Looks like no rain expected - and cooler than last year.

I am running my 17" stash as the load ratings for 4 corners is nearly 1k more lbs than same size 18" stuff

Also here is what I got from Jeff Speer @ Hoosier:

Increase your hot air pressure to +2 psi on all four corners. I typically recommend using 36 psi hot in our R6's, that said, shoot for 38 psi hot. Start your cold pressures at the beginning of the day at 30 psi. After every session, if your hot pressure exceeds 38 psi, bleed them down to 38 psi hot.

Camber settings should be reduced by -1.5 degrees. For example, if you are currently using -2.5 degrees negative camber on the front end, reduce it to -1.0 degrees. The banking and downforce will increase your static negative camber, so reducing it will give you more contact patch and better tread wear. Be sure to change this back to -2.5 after you run at Lowes.
