Fun lookin runs. That last one sounded like a little Gas and Catch in a few spots, keeps it rotating and makes it exciting. heh

It is clear that your tires are done in the video, you can see the car roll over onto the suspension really nice, so you are setting the car well, but then the tires start to scream. Not much you can do about that but go buy some new shoes and get after it next year.

You shoulda went....Worse case you coulda co-driven and then we could have compared notes. Tires would have hated life, but they were at the end anyway. It's tough to find guys in similar platforms to bounce ideas off of. Crazy as it sounds I usually look to the SuperStock Z06 crowd and see how they are running, both in time and line, braking, accerlating. I figure the car's footprint is similar, power is almost identical, braking is close and then the similarities end.....but its something to shoot for. I have lots to learn, an EVO school is in my plans for next spring....

Evo school is a lot of fun. Just try to listen carefully to everything they say, not all of it makes sense right away. Once you get out on course you mind will figure out how to apply it for you.
