Got a cheap headrest GoPro mount off Etsy so I could bring the camera back inside the car. It’s not the greatest quality thing, has some shake to it, but with some smoothing in post, it seems to be fine.
After a handful of events I’m pretty settled on doing the “mullet”. Getting more used to the Yoks on the rear, I still think they’re a weird tire, but they certainly have the grip back there. I’ve been playing around with pressures, and can’t for the life of me tell the difference. I bumped up the rears 2.5 PSI and the balance is the same, just maybe a little sharper. I remember them being that way when I had them all around. Lower pressures didn’t really seem to result in more grip/faster times, just worse feel.
Saturday was day 1 of a two day event, but couldn’t make day 2. Since it was the last ZMAX event before the Tour in June, figured getting some runs on the surface would be good. My run was good enough for 2nd in Pro Street Tire, and my 4th run was 4 tenths faster, but punted a cone at the end of a wall, so no good there. After 3 runs I was about 1 second ahead of everyone else, but everyone was picking up time through each run as tire temps were coming up on a cool windy day, just couldn’t keep my final run clean.
Thinking it might be time to rebuild the shocks. They’ve got probably 25-30k miles, and the car has had a couple of shock spins. The first being at VIR on a 35* out lap, and the back end just came around on me. I chocked it up to old and cold Stones, but then a similar spin happened through the finish at the Atlanta Pro. If it happens again, I’ll send them in for a rebuild. Was already planning to do it in the off season, just might need to accelerate that timeline.
