When I ran with PCA it was on Thunderbolt so the track was a bit longer and I had only a couple packs of cars come up on my once during a session. It was much better than I thought it would be. I was sitting on the starting grid and looked at all the cars and said to myself "my car is the slowest here!" It wasn't bad at all. I really slowed to let the packs get by me all at once. The tower was really happy with my driving style and I never messed anyone up. That was my second time out this year and I ended up running a 1:38, so not too bad with about 285hp.

Will/Dan - in case you didn't get the email, Provost Motorsports is doing free tech for the Nov 3-4 event tonight at 6-9 pm. Drinks and food there too apparently.
--- I had work done yesterday at VAC ... minor suspension work and a new alignment plus the custom brake ducting w/ hoses and everything which looks like real race car.

Clean for sure. I think at full lock it will rub but in my daily driving I have no need so ...

I was thinking of using the same cf 2 piece backing plates but not sure where to find the right dam/scoop piece. Pegasus racing has decent selection of stuff... |

I have been cooking my brakes last couple events with the R comps. So far I've been OK adapting my braking but I shouldn't have to do that anymore.

That's crazy that it doesn't rub. It looks so damn close to the wheel, especially with big R comps.

I turned the wheel in increments and got out of the car to check, it doesn't rub until 3/4 full lock or so. It's jinked just right to avoid that.

Street, OEM 19" rims and 235/35 Pilot Super Sports. Track, OZ Racing Alleggerita HLT 18x9 w/ BFG R1 245/40. I'm not sure of the offset on the OZ's but they fit fine with a 10mm spacer all around.
