Had a few sessions at Phoenix Intl Raceway over the weekend... changes for this weekend were

- lowered 0.5 inches front and 1.25 inches rear to try and shift balance rearwards (and help with ABS icing issue)
- switched pads... less aggressive mintex xtreme in rear, again to help with ABS icing
- unfortunately also in the process of first two, ended up with malfunctioned ABS and so did my sessions with no ABS!
- ran in TTA trim - no aero except rear wing

I ended up a second off my pace from the last visit to same track... without ABS, I was driving just a bit more conservatively... but times were consistent, fast laps in each session were all within 0.2 seconds



Next steps... I found a mechanic I trust that is going to go through the car meticulously and shave weight off the car - I can take about 125 pounds off the car and still make class... I also need to continue working through the fuel starvation issue - need to continue to work this with richard at nohotwire... I had to carry 8+ gallons the whole time and got starvation near end of every session... may also try tweaking alignment and suspension setup a bit... other than that, I'm running out of ideas to make this car go faster in "NASA TTA trim"!
