That is my car Charles was driving that day. 949 Racing and Charles asked if they could run it in the Time Attack. Obviously I said yes and they won.

^^^ I thought that car looked familiar.

I was just at that track. Very interesting how he doesn't downshift in a couple areas where I was. Hmmm... Thanks for the video .

I may have to take a few notes from this on board before April

and maybe add some aluminum back plates to the rockers

Don't bother taking notes. The car had downforce and different tires for that event.

Here's my car with LG coilovers, hoosier A6's, but no downforce last weekend. Different driving styles and different tires than Charles (NT-01's). I don't know what his wing is worth, but Oli is faster with the wing. LG coilovers rock . My friend Flink kindly pointed out that I missed a few apexes and the heat didn't help, so my car definitely has more in it. Pretty soon I'll find out how much I lose with the T1 springs/shocks compared to the coilovers when all the SoCal T1 guys welcome me with open arms as a rookie next year. I'm sure they will be kind and gentle .



Next weekend is my 1st W2W race with NASA at Infineon Raceway and I'll be out there with SM and SpecE30. I'm expecting a swarm of angry cars on a tight track with lots of walls. I'm not allowed any contact or spins for 4 races. Wish me luck...

Good luck. I'll be in SM, PTE, and maybe the enduro in a little over a week with NASA at buttonwillow.
