Maybe get some washers and longer bolts for a quick fix? Also how tall are you?

Maybe you can get a shop to modify those brackets if you cant find another?

I am all legs. heh. If I sit in the 'wrong' position my helmet rubs. I have the stock seat cranked as low as it can go too.
I've been convinced to call V2motorsports about the coilover problem today. They have built at least 1 T2 Z (and the driver walked away from an amazing flip at mid-ohio) I'm going to see if they can do the seat and harness mounting at some point too. |

Well... this was fun. I was about 10mph faster than my normal turn in it looks like... that was enough to let the rear wheels slide I think. Next time brake harder into turn one. I realized I wasn't going to save it and tried to get straight but I wasn't really fast enough.
Mid-Ohio off track turn one on Vimeo I've got some more fun videos to post soon. Hopefully I'll get to post them tonight. |

I don't remember lifting but it's hard to hear the engine over the tire squeal in the video. Nothing damaged but my pride and a clip popped out of the FL splash guard. Going to put 'er up on stands soon to double check everything.
I knew the instructor in the Mini... after the session she came up and harassed me and said her student felt bad. :P mini driver: "I think I made him do that" instructor: "He did that all himself." hah |

Better the kitty litter than the fence I suppose
Definitely turned in with too much speed, I'm surprised you didn't try to brake a little deeper after you realized you were coming in hot, but the shape of the track doesn't seem to give that much freedom. Cold tires probably didn't help either.

No I didn't mean brake again after you were turning, I meant stay on the brake pedal longer after you realized that you missed your mark. But if you hadn't realized that you missed your mark then obviously that is of no help

https://vimeo.com/39718151 -- Sunday session with traffic.
One more to edit still. Friday I chased an instructor in a Z06 around. For an instructor in a more powerful car he was moving pretty slow. |

Last video for now. This is probably the best video of the weekend. Friday afternoon I got to chase down an instructor in a Yellow Corvette Z06. It seems so weird to me that I was able to catch and pass an instructor in a more powerful car. I think he may have been on r comps too but I'm not sure.
