They're discussing it and getting back to me with a solution. I called and basically pointed out that I had installed them correctly, used them correctly, and that 6 track days later they were gone. If they want to send me a better solution, OK. Otherwise, since I bought them directly, I'm happy to contact Visa.

Simpson Hybrid is an interesting alternative if you have 3-point belts or are doing instructing and jumping from car to car.

First time back at GingerMan for a few years, and first time in the Vette. PB was 1:40.63, and Pi Toolbox indicates my theoretical fastest for the day was about 1:40.1. I know there's even more time to be had. Another Grand Sport, the Z06, and a Cayman GT4 and I were all dead-even for this session and having a blast, as you can see in the video.
V max: 131.7 Lat G max: 1.39 My tire wear was MUCH improved with Fall-Line's alignment spec and their advice to bump cold pressures up 1-2 psi.

Also that pass at 8:00 seemed odd. Was it OK to pass in a corner with no point-by? |

Thanks. The Hybrid is super tempting, but I think in the occasions I don't have harnesses, I'll have airbags... The Hybrid looks like it might be otherwise less comfortable, especially in the heat.

I like it well enough. You know how big I am, so the chest mounted ones wouldn't really work for me. |

"It was at this moment dparm knew... he fucked up." At least the other guy seemed aware enough not to run wide.

He got the point-by, probably just hard to see on the video. The PDR camera struggles when it's overcast like that. I agree the pass was a tad late, but it was advanced group and the last session so they were being lenient. You are right though, after rewatching that video I can see that the Z06 is not consistently getting close to the apexes on the corners. Might explain why his times were within a half-second of mine despite being up 200hp and having better aero.

Fall-Line's alignment and advice to bump cold pressures 1-2psi did the trick. These things wore quite well after their first track day. The depth is also consistent across the face of all four. This is a huge win for my wallet.
