New PR at COTA. Not a great time but hey, I’m working on it. First time at COTA since July 2019. Lots of issues including poor lines in some areas, not going fast enough or overslowing in some areas, 200TW tires which I don’t like at all (already purchased a set of 100TW tires), my inability to decide when and where to shift, and little confidence in brakes. Pedal is a bit mushy, stopping distances are longer (don’t think it’s completely related to the tires), and the bite just seems off. I’m leaning towards switching to a StopTech C43 front BBK, trying PFC 11 pads, and installing PFC DD rear rotors..possibly brake ducts too.

From COTA with Chin in Sep. It’s been 5 years and forgot how tricky the fist half of the track is.
I liked my speed just not very consistent. 5 seconds off my virtual best. Usually within a second. Got some work to do. Any my plywood splitter was fapping on the back straight. Top speed was 136-139. Definitely could be over 140mph.

That Sunday, ran a 1:41.269. Extremely happy with that! Virtual best was a 1:40.840. The difference was mostly Diamond's Edge. Didn't get the best exit on the fast lap. Still have about .5-1 seconds with better braking. I could probably just lift coming off the sweeper and I was cleaner on the brakes going into bus stop.
Still need to lose some more weight, work on drag reduction (front wheel wells, larger wing end plates), and improve weight distribution.
I think a 1:37 on sticker Hoosiers is possible.
