o2- wish I could make to the time attack on the 26th but I wont be around to attend. I got a bigger wing, new re-71r tires and few small things fixes making me eager to see what times I can pull at BW.

Willow Springs was good the other day. Perfect temps, no wind. The car runs pretty consistent low 1:33s, but now my tires are starting to fall off. Now that they are worn pretty far they start getting greasy after a 5-6 laps. Time for some new rubber soon and see what it can do!

Im pissed I did not get my recent speed ventures track day at streets of willow on video..
Got a new personal best time of 1:23.1 going CW durring the first session. Got my ohlins dialed in nicely and added a cheesy track day only knightsports wing to add a bit of aero. I definitely believe I could of had her in the low 1:22's in later session if it wasnt for traffic and track temps. RE71r's dont like heat that much.
With the wing I'm almost going wot to the apex of turn 1. Letting off well into the turn. Amazing how even a little aero makes a difference.

Huge difference over the feed type 2 wing? I'm wingless right now and was considering a feed wing in the future.
Realized my wing pic didnt post earlier. Second try.
Anyone here have knowledge on RE71r heat cycle life span? Hoping the dont fall off after 2-3 track days.

Not huge but enough to be clearly noticeable on high speed turns. I have bubbletech canards in the front also and together I needed to adjust for the added downforce grip after 80-100mph. Id get a wing for track days only and deal with 4 holes on your hatch. Aero grip is fun.

After 1 track day on a hot day at SOW, which is pretty hard on tires, I didnt see any hyper/nasty tire wear. Basically what you would expect from this type of tire. Im more worried about the compound drying up from repetitive heat cycles. The NT01's were great at maintaining its rubber softness with many many heat cycles. Hoping these are similar.
