Yes, best I can do on them is 59.8 . When they got too hot and give up, the fronts completely went away.

I look forward to learning a few pointers from you at the ridge. I can't believe you're in the 1:55s! That's madness.

I haven't done a track day since selling my BRZ so I'll be very rusty.

Yup, come on by.

Who are you all running with for track days at the ridge these days? When I stopped going a few years ago, it was mostly Turn2. Now it looks like there are some other organizers.

Not sure if there are any real pros/cons between them?

Still Turn2, they have expanded into doing days at ORP and Spokane as well. TSS has been coming back, covid really wrecked them since they are Canadian.

Have y'all seen the "Watkin's Glen" style walls at Pacific Raceways?

They will definitely end a car, however, they are also quite helpful in keeping a car from becoming inverted. Prior to these, cars that climbed hillsides often rolled down (I can attest).

Here is a 1:33.6 view of the new walls.
