Whats going on in the 3rd pc? Shouldn't the suspension be compressed at that point?
That's half way down the cork screw correct?

I gotta ask how you got the car so far off in the third pic. Did you launch off the curb in 8? All the other pics show your suspension fully loaded with you apexing all the way into the rumble strips.

The photographer took the picture in the transitional phase right before the suspension compresses...I guess 2 yards later it was fully compressed

see above - I hit 8 hard and in the transition to 8A the suspension is unloaded (not sure if this is the proper term...not a native speaker) before it gets fully compressed thru 8A

I wish, I've exceeded my track budget during the month Aug (3 track events, 4 new tires, brake fluid flush twice, alignment twice, oil change one time), will start attending later this month again

By the way, my Eisenmann Sport is completely broken in now and is freakin awesome!!!
