Let them do the braking and not the brakes. He said if you read the temperature across the width of the tires that there would be a significant delta between the temps when I finished as session than when he would finish because of the way he would drive and use the tires. He said, you are probably not close to the manufactures recommended operating temperature, so drive and use those tires and you will find more grip! I listen and learned!!! Still not there but what an improvement. I was at least 4 seconds faster during the Time Attack than before. The next day I dropped my time another 2.5 seconds. As Rusty said, the car has a lot of poke and the driver is still working getting up to speed lol.

Well, I feel sorry for the other guys (ok, no I don't) when you get up to speed.
