Last laps of my season...
At the Ridge in Shelton, WA. Beautiful day. Four good laps here (all better times than any other time I have been at the Ridge...going for sub 2:05 next season!). Bummed that my OBDII link wasn't working for some reason.
Oh, and I finally had my first off-track incident (barely!) and my first cone. No longer a virgin! Now to figure out exactly what I am going to upgrade on the car over the winter...

I think it is time for a suspension upgrade!

Great Video! Do you have an LSD on your car? Seems like a very fast track, did your car have any issues with heat? What software are you using to record the videos?

Nice video - the car definitely looks like it has a lot of power on tap but that the cornering abilities of the car don't allow you to use it much. I still haven't been to the ridge - I think 2019 will be time to remedy that!

Never have heat problems with this car. 1. N55, 2. PNW stays relatively cool, although one of my days it was in the 80's and the car had no issues. 3. Use MHD with tune in full Sport cooling all the time. Camera is Garmin Virb Ultra 30. Software is Virb Edit but it has a frustrating bug right now where it won't use the audio from the desired camera in multi. |

C'mon over...it's a great, safe track. Lots of open runoff. Hit me up if you do...you can pull up a chair under my popup. |

Yes, it is close to the driving school line. I aim for the first brake cone vice the turn in cone. Makes a straighter line from 9-11 IMO. The thumb is kinda tricky...but a lotta room to runoff so...

Have you got camber plates? Hard to see in the photo you posted but it looks like the tire might be going positive camber under load. If not, that will be good for a boatload of improvement in both front tire wear and lap times. The maximum your car will allow you is a good place to be - most people have a hard time getting more than -3 without M arms as well as camber plates, but if you can get more - it'll make you faster yet.
