Yeah, it rained Friday morning but Saturday was sunny and 90*.

I have a tendency to forget things at the track because I like to jabber too much. This time I forgot to put the SD card back in the front camera for my next session, I forgot to put the PBox in speed mode because I was trying earlier to see the new predictive lap timing...which I never did, and I forgot to drink plenty of fluids until I starting getting a headache and then called it a day.

What's your thinking on mounting the rear facing camera on the dash? You wanna see me do a Top Gear like monologue?



Not brave at all. You feel the car sliding and you know that's the limit. I'd be brave if I turned off PSM!
1) Yep....camera on dash please so we can see the speed and revs....but skip the monolgue waffle ok....we can do without that.

2) Nah... meant brave in respect that they get punished too much plus after a decent session they never run smooth on the road any more. Streets if its raining but R specs next time please ruffy!! That way we can watch you round up that 3.

I once saw ~155 but it was too fast to safely (for me) take 17 onto the front straight. It is extremely bumpy through 17. In fact most of the track is pretty bumpy.

Now if I hit 150 I keep it there and start slowing a bit sooner.

I agree with you I also run sebring and have been very happy with my re-11's. I own a truck and aluma trailer but enjoy the drive over and back as much as the DE.

N rated sport cups are going to be your best alternative. I've done the hoosier/rim thing, grips like crazy but a pia.
