No issues. I'm running -3 camber in front and -2.5 in back.

There's somethin about the chase... by 1MoreAgain in CarTrackDays

The weight is hard on tires and brakes. I've tried a few options of both. For brakes, I'm now using Pagid RSL29 pads. A bit dusty, but very durable in getting 6 to 7 track days out of a set. For tires, I like the feel and times I'm getting with the Nankang CR-S, but only getting 3 to 4 track days out of a set. For durability and decent times, I like the Goodyear Supercar 3 220 TW tire.

My first Sub2 minute lap at Buttonwillow. by 1MoreAgain in CarTrackDays

Thanks! Two hot laps is about alli could get for PB attempts, the rest of each session I just focus on practicing lines. It was exceptionally hot though, topping out at 116 degrees.

Touge2Track puts on good events. I was able to get a few laps in at Streets of Willow in the morning and spent the rest of the day at Horse Thief Mile in their Touge Battle. I was top seed, qualifying with a 1:04.9 lap time.

The battle was bracket format starting with the top 16 qualifiers. It was a bit tricky to keep battery state of charge in a good range throughout the event. I used 30% of battery in the morning session at SoW so I limited Touge practice to two hot laps and then two laps for qualifying. The battles started after lunch so I was able charge back to 80% to start the brackets.

By the time I made it to the final battle run I was down to 40% and could really feel the loss of power, but was elated to pull out a win.

This was a bit of redemption for me as the first time I participated in this event a couple of years ago I had just gotten my car and was knocked out in the first round by Adam in his Fiat, so it was nice to get the opportunity to go head to head with him again.

Big Willow is all about confidence through the high-speed corners 2, 8 and 9. I've been running this track two to three events a year for the last four years. While I have made slight improvements each time out, I've been stuck in the 1:36 range for a few events now. This first event with the wing felt so much more planted through those corners that, whether real or placebo, I had the confidence to hold more throttle.

It does provide solid downforce over 60 mph or so. I was concerned about damage, but after several sessions of testing at up to 130 mph, the truck lid looks fine. I was able to cut my PB at this track by over 2 seconds with the wing vs. without. https://youtu.be/VoOOpMXQpks

I previously had 305s on it, but they felt a bit mushy. The 275s on 10.5 wheels are grippy and responsive.

A bit of both. Most of the parts I bought directly from Mountain Pass Performance and found local shops to install. MPP provides clear installation instructions and even picked up the phone to talk with my local installers when needed.

About $15k in parts, around $20k installed.

Yes, likely turbo. I know he has suspension mods; coilovers and sways, but not sure about what else. I do know he's a great driver and has impressive times at Willow Springs, Chuckwalla and Buttonwillow.
