new track video of me at Monticello
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VuD8hj2uUc
Set a new personal best  Previous best was 2:47, then I rode gun and let the track pro drive my car and he got 2:45 (full tank of gas and passenger = heavy). Few days later I took her out, 1/4 tank gas and no passenger, also installed z06 titanium exhaust (weights about 15 lbs less and gives 5 hp?) and got a 2:41!
But it wasn't feeling right; had lots of understeer. Front left tire corded:

Might be due to the alignment getting messed up due to upper control arm bushing being pushed out:

time for poly bushings and new alignment. Friggin annoying since the toyo r888's only have 3000 miles on them (of which 500 are track miles  )

looks like fun. LG has used control arms for 120 per arm i would get a set and have them converted over to a mono ball set up to get rid of that bushing. did you video the pro driving if you did can you compare where he picks up the gas. like you said hard to tell if the car is tight or your on the gas early causing the push. Cant wait to my car is done to try that track out.

i hear ya but i'm having TTP put in poly bushings and change the front from -2.6 to -2.0 next week.
I definately had the data logger hooked up when the pro drove my car; he was braking earlier than I was and slower putting the power down exiting the turn. All that is understandable given he doesn't want to wreck my car. and i don't mind the ego boost 
when is your car gonna be done? sept 18 and 28 are the two days you should come.
