Sunday was good.... had three off track experiences Twice going too hard on cold tires, and once I think I hit "ice mode" on the back sraight braking zone b/c the pedal wouldn't work right and I went off the end of it in to the weeds. All was well.

I did get the VM but was at a concert with Maura... I need to look into tuning so thanks for the heads up.

I am really thinking about these seats but I am not sure if they will provide the support for open track that I want. I was going to go with an Evo or a Recaro pole position. Those roadsters really do look like a good mix for both street and track though. Do you think they have enough support for the G-loads produced on track by Hoosier R's etc??

Thanks

Well I'm a large guy (not fat) so I fill them well... they did well on my street tires this past weekend. I have Hoosiers in my garage and will be running them in June at VIR again. A more agressive seat would of course be better, but it's always a compromise. They could be a hair wider in the hips for me, but they do the trick.
