Nice video Les. Your lines look pretty good to me. Are the street tires you are using the AD08's? I used the AD08's all year in SOLO II and they performed very well. I have done some research on combating the Crossfire understeer, and it looks like getting good at both trail braking and utilizing throttle-lift are the answer. I will be working on that in the off-season (currently 8 degrees here in Dayton).

I had an instructor for Corvette's tell me that left-foot braking is also a time saver. I have a G-Tech RR, and reading the data shows around .2 sec's lost either shifting or moving your foot from gas to brake or the other way around. I haven't worked on that yet, but it is on my list.

I finished in first place in both SCCA and NASA this year, and hope to repeat next year. I also want to run a PDX at Mid-Ohio and participate in at least one Pro-SOLO event next year. I enjoy your posts, keep it up.
Mike
