FUEL STARVE!!!

Forgot to mention, this sucks and cut one of my sessions short. CMP has one long right hand carousel, and one long complex of 3 right turns (taken as a sweeper). I had added a splash of fuel to the tank before one of my runs and the gas gauge was reading 1 dot above 1/4 tank. Coming out of both of those turns, the car starved and throttle died. I pitted in, and even though it was reading over 1/4 tank, my car still took over 7 gallons of fuel. Afterwards no worries. This totally freaked me out and sucks.

Fuel starve sucks. Been there and fixed it wirh "phunks" kit. I run with the VDC off. With it on. It kills your drive coming out of the turns. Just wait until you're in a turn with the back just starting to come out, and the othe nanny kicks in and applies a brake for you to keep the car straight. I'm putting in a switch for the YAW sensor.

Have fun.
