Another successful Laguna Seca trackday! Gorgeous weather with a great group of drivers.
A big shout out goes to Kelly [MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] for being the one and only to get linear springs made for our cars. After tuning the shocks with the DSC controller, the front end of this car is planted. no more floating!
I believe there were 2 or 3 other track pack owners which were tearing it up.
I wanted to comment on my tire usage. I believe I’m one of the few that has run the Pirelli take offs and now the Continental take offs.
For one the Continentals last far longer than the Pirellis. Laguna is known to ruin tires and I still have plenty of tread. They also don’t like to be pushed at the limit. Once they grease over you need to do a cool down or end the session.
However the Pirellis are faster. At Laguna they are a solid 2 seconds faster. The Pirellis lasted a good 8-10 sessions before cording and cycling out. I know the Continentals could last 12 to 15 sessions without an issue.
Another thing to mention is that the Continentals do not need as much camber as the Pirellis.
Once I go through my stock pile,I will be going back to the Pirellis.
Onto the pics!
