Times and Replays.

OK Talentless, in amongst laundry, cleaning birdcages, cleaning the house, and doing the dishes, I managed another 20 or so laps last night. This was on top of driving 350 real life, and thankfully billable, miles in a snow storm.

In the first 10 laps, I managed a clean 1'56.265. Just barely under your time. In the following laps, I started to creep down into the 1'56.1xx range. I could never seem to make a clean run though. A slight wall bump in the tunnel, sliding both rear tires off the track exiting a ripple strip...any number of little "oops".

Then as time tightened up, and dinner for the wife needed to be started to coincide with her 10pm return from work, I nailed a 1'55.551 fast lap. I was losing time in the very first corner, and in the tight right hander exiting the last tunnel. Once tightened up there, I saved alot of time. I also know that there are three corners that I didn't manage as fast as I had on previous runs.

So the ball is back in your court.

I'd also invite others to give this a run to show us where I might shave another second off my time. Rules are that you can make any adjustments except, the final drive and individual gears.

I'll d/l and view it later. Right now the car is being a peice of **** and will not stop locking up.

Why won't this godamn car stop locking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would dearly love to know why a car that was handling very well for the first 330-345 now locks up 9 out of ten times. I can't even take the first corner at 108. Normally the car will slide to the rumble strip on the left, but now it seems the rear locks up and prevents it from even reaching the rumble strip. On top of that, even when I managed to get the car to slide onto the rumble strip it still locks up, only this time in a straight line. Oh, and my brakes are fading.

I have spent about an hour on this now. I think that I should rest soon unless I want to give myself a heart attack.

Interesting. My car is bordering on 300 miles, So I'm guessing that I should see the problem surface now as well. Keep in mind, that we've trimmed the lines pretty tight, and are scrabbling for a few more tenths.

What I can surmise is that the slight change in power has caused "the best line" through a corner to change slightly. Where as before, we were constantly tightening the lines due to the slight increases in power. In other words, the car has been subtley changing every time you race it. this may infact be a psychological issue more than a car issue. I think we're running nearly identical set-ups, with the exception of bound/rebound. Mine are at 7/9 yours (I think) are 8/10.

I won't have a chance to get back to this until next week sometime, as christmas commitments have used up any free time.

Not sure if this helps.
