Yeah, I'm always nervous about target fixation. Guy behind you sees you spin, can't stop watching, and is suddenly driving right at you. Seen it before, especially when people go off the track.

Agreed with you on target fixation and that may have contributed to the multi car incident we had this weekend.
You can see the river running down at the end of thunder valley. Hitting that with slicks at speed gets interesting

What brake fluid was in there? The Volvo fluid that came out of my wife's brakes looked nice and yellow. |

I also got a sweatband for my power steering reservoir, but I got a headband instead of a wristband doh. |

Ouch - did you put a tire on the wet paint on the apex?

Made it out for the first event of the season at Road America. Was able to improve my time some down to a 2:28.07. Just shy of the 27's (prior was 28.94). Made it more heart breaking for me is the Aim showed 2:27.xx before I crossed the line then change to the other time as soon as I crossed.
Was out with another friend in an E92 M3 who managed a 2:26.1!! that is flying for those who do not know the times there. He let me in front for a lap to try and push me into the 27's but I started to overdrive the car some and didn't make it. With some new tires next time I should be in the 27's. Aim Solo has my theoretical best as a 2:25.xx so I have some room to close the gap of my actual time vs the dangling carrot. |

I'd had enough of the slip and slide in Thundervalley. Headed up again tomorrow, hopefully we luck out with the weather.

Is your car SC? It sounds like it and the Vmax on those straights seems to support that. Shawn and the guys at Laps Inc are awesome, probably the best HPDE group I've ever run with.

Yea it took me a long time to warm up to the kink. Always plays with my head. Last year was about 107 through there and this time close to 110. To be fair he is also a very talented driver. Former NASA GTS-4 national champion. Yea was my first event with Shawn and I enjoyed it. Very easy going event and nice cars. Last edited by Samo6556; 05-15-2019 at 05:33 PM.. |

The Wednesday ADD were pretty sweet, you just get 3 hours of open lapping on a Wednesday afternoon. No run groups.

For those of you needing new tires, Discount Tire is doing their 10% off deal for Memorial Day. It's stackable with other rebates. I think I got about $200 back last year.

I thought I'd share this good deal. I just pulled the trigger on 4 Toyo Proxes RRs size 285/30/18 for $1015 at Simpletire.com.
I've been meaning to try these for years. I'll report back.
