Anybody in? I'm trying out some fresh Goodyears. They're balloons but the price was right.

I was going to, but my co-driver bailed on me due to financial difficulty. Bummer, I was looking forward to it!

I sent my paperwork and cash to Phil last week.
The car will be down on power but it will still be fun.
I haven't run with SAFE since 2001.

I'm in, as well as my best friend with his c5 z06. I spent all day saturday cursing my new coilovers because they were 1.5mm to thick where they bolt into the control arm. I hate filing! Hopefully I can break the 3 minute mark with the new wheels that are going on. Can anyone say 18x10?

What are you driving that you can't break 3:00 in? Doesn't seem like a very lofty goal for a car that requires a 10" wide wheel. (please don't take that the wrong way, it's just that last time I was out I was trying to break 2:55 in a stock Miata on street tires)

2:45 on saturday in clockwork, that's my personal best, with Hard leftover OLOA tires and 100lbs of mud from pre-running rally roads. saturday was one of those motorsports bliss days. Car running well, suspension just feels right, more instructors then students so lots of free track time.

I had a Porkchop spin in front of me, in one. another instructor. I never had someone be so thankful to me for not punting them off the track.

I actually expect to be in the 2:40's. But we shall see.

2:40's sounds more like it.

Jeff, congrats on the 2:45! I believe that is my best in your car, as well... makes you wonder how much is left in it that we're not finding, doesn't it?

What type of alignment specs are you running... camber, caster and toe? Also, are you running slicks or R compound tires?
