I added some bump stops from FatCat Motorsports on all 4 corners of my car before this event. Harder on the front with spacers and softer on the rear. The idea was to limit the travel and control the dive and lean to an extent. I measured about an inch of travel before contacting the bumpstops. The result was the rear of the car wanted to come around on every corner. Watching the video you can see some obvious moments. I was missing the apex often, not because the front wasn't sticking but because I was afraid of the lack of traction on the rear half of the car. This was also the heat when the un metered leak became a torrent and the supercharger whine changed, among other things. The investigation points to loose supercharger to head bolts as well as the i/c outlet to Y pipe hose having an issue. Regardless, the video is interesting and I hope it's enjoyed.

Well that was exciting. You don't know until you try. Now you know. I liked the camera mount.

 

I have some thoughts on a few things i saw and heard in the video, i'll message you on fb tomorrow. Great camera location btw.

 

I personally liked the steering wheel release, and letting the caster bring it around. Although, I had an driving instructor nearly rip my head off for letting go of the wheel during an open track session at Mid Ohio. Thanks for the video.

 

Yeah, that was a huge no no but I had little choice. I don't really enjoy that camera position because I can see all I'm doing incorrectly. Frankly, the steering is so slow and the wheel too big to not reposition the hands in all the tight turns. My first thought was about kissing the wall, second was why? My car never behaves like this. The only way to unwind the steering input fast enough was to let it go. You should see it in slow motion and high def. I have a video from the car I passed. Not nearly as exciting.
