I am hoarse today - I was screaming in my helmet as I watched my AIM predicted lap grow from 2:26XXX to 2:28.15 as it coughed , bucked, surged, and coasted across the start finish. tombstone and then Big bend back to back running CCW guarantees fuel starve at the end of a session if I'm not going out with a full tank
I love MSRC, but man, those turns just are just killer on cars for oil starvation, fuel starvation and tire wear.

When I was riding the 1.7 on my bike, one side of the tires looked new while the other side was down to about 25%. Next time I'm out there, I'm rotating tires every session.

edit: 2:26 is an awesome time at MSRC for the 3.1. You're flying!

I was running a 1:55.8x or so at ECR when a freaking PEN got stuck between the gas and firewall! On the last straight. 1:57.8 Luckily, it wasn't my brakes.
