Also thanks to Vicegrip for giving me some great feedback on my car. Since I'd never driven a 911 before, let alone with a track setup, I had no reference point for what I was experiencing. It turns out that the bump steer feedback was excessive; now I have a winter project to try and tame it. Kurt pointed out that some of it may be due to the large wheel spacers used to make the later model wheels fit the car. For Sunday morning's wet session I switched to my rain tires which don't require the spacers and the bump steer was substantially reduced. It felt so much better that I left them on for the dry sessions later. I was chasing the correct tire pressures for the rest of the day, but it was still much better. With my tire pressures getting away from me, I managed to lock it up braking for turn 1 and had to drive off into the gravel. My apologies for causing the black flag.

Baneff,

I believe I have a video of that if you want to see it?
