Nothing is quite as much fun as being up the arse of a faster car and hanging there for a few laps. Truth is I was pedaling hard in this case

move back bar stiffer, front bar full soft. Loose is fast - especially in slower turns.

Good luck, If Charlie can't get him to tweek the RS no one can.

Goes and stops like a dream but looks like a nightmare of mine in slow corners. "I keep turning the wheel but nothing is happening!"

Default Scenic Route Through Turn 9 - First Off

First of all, as many have already stated, great event this weekend. Thanks to all the volunteers, my instructor and everyone that helped me investigate and diagnose my power steering fluid leak (apparently I need to invest in a PS cooler).

If anyone was wondering who caused that major dust cloud in turn #9 (Saturday, Blue Run Group) it was me. Here's the video:


A few of my Blue group buddies captured the after effects in their videos. (visibility was zero exiting #9 for a while, sorry blue group!). I'll see if I can post them later.

You weren't alone, I saw dust clouds in just about everyone of my sessions. Nice job straightening the wheel!!!!

But I do recall hearing something about a session where the goal was aggressiveness and the outcome was

Yep, I realized the early entry about halfway through the turn . Announced over the intercom that I was riding it out. Glad it worked. I think I must have been to focused on the car in front and not my own line (always get a little annoyed when a Turbo passes me and then start breaking early ).

John -- you were early on about every turn leading up to that one as well. As Axl Rose would say, "Just a little patience..."
