More front bar ;)
What diff are you running?
On the corner leading onto the back straight...sometimes going in a little slower ...will be faster.
I always try and get full throttle by apex...and if you can't...you have to ask why you can't.

I really like the feel of the car, and two pro drivers have driven it and say its set up perfectly. Diff is a quaife.

I had a Mike Skeen coach me for a session yesterday, have to work on unwinding the wheel a little sooner to get on the gas sooner, like in that corner

Want to go back so bad. I think RA may be my favorite track now. Wish it wasn't so damn far away. :)

red6spd 03-19-2013 12:35 PM

Looks like so much fun! Wish we had tracks in the area here.

Dwnshift 03-19-2013 02:52 PM

Yes mike is good ;)
We are shooting for 28-29's around there.

ZCarMan 03-19-2013 03:01 PM

Thanks for posting the video Mike. I always enjoy watching them!

RCL 03-19-2013 05:36 PM

Awesome! That's quite an achievement, My times are way slower. lmao

MyKindaGuise 03-19-2013 05:42 PM

Great vid Mike. You can tell that you have def. put your time in at the track.

Mike 03-19-2013 07:28 PM

Gosh, that was fun to watch. I've watched numerous Skeen vids and I feel like I have to dry my shorts out after watching them. I peed a little on yours too Mike (not really, but I could).

bdavis89 03-19-2013 08:02 PM

Hey! I've raced there...on Forza...:shakes head:

:icon18:
Mike took me out in my car for a session a few months back, it was definitely a thrill ride! Then I tried to emulate his driving style and spun in 10a :(

shadoquad 03-19-2013 09:30 PM

Would love to see what you could do with no other drivers on the course, just hot lappin'

But that's still pretty amazing, bud!

BigT 03-19-2013 11:34 PM

Amazing.

Rusty 03-20-2013 01:04 AM

Nice Mike. :tup:

Dwnshift 03-20-2013 07:37 AM

Did I read you were on pirelli's?

I did the 1:36 clean, but lost the video.

BJ, yes, I bought a set of scrubs from Brian K. to try.

How do those feel? I heard they take a little while to warm up?

Mike 03-20-2013 11:19 AM

they definitely have zero grip cold. they slid all over the place turning in the pits, and then on the out lap spun in first through third and I wasn't even getting on it. After two laps though, they warmed up nicely.

However, I'm going back to Hoosiers when these are done, because Hoosier has discontinued the 295/40-18s that I run, but have them on close out right now for 120 a piece, for the A6s, I bought 3 sets of them, so I should be good for the next year or so.

Dwnshift 03-20-2013 01:30 PM

Nice! Yes much more grip than Conti's.
Still think you would like more front bar...just saying ;)

Kingbaby 03-20-2013 01:38 PM

I subscribed

red6spd 03-20-2013 01:41 PM

I'm going to go and try to beat your time on Forza LOL.
