bummer about the HG. I bet the car is insane on VIR. Should be an awesome track to hit once you get cooling sorted.

damn, hope it doesn't turn out to be more than just the head gasket. Turn one is where I hit the tire wall when my oil cooler line came off and soaked my front left brake.
If you love VIR, you will also love Road Atlanta.

By the way that reminds me... was finally able to dial in the right rear setup and the car was much more planted even with a square tire setup... SPL rear links are a worthwhile upgrade, long overdue for me |

Actually, you went off at a legit corner... mine was much more stupid than that... call it turn 0 not turn 1... the slight and very fast right hander just past start finish... duh! *facepalm* |

Taking those esses all out is one of those things that doesn't feel worth it to me, at least when you are talking a hobby car. Too much risk, plus if you wreck, you do it where people can see and judge you |

haven't had the opporunity yet at VIR, but since I added the wing, I love taking Road Atlanta esses at full throttle.
So you went off kind of in the middle of the straight where the kink is? Is this the first time you have run square? I've never ran any other way. Switching from 295/40-18 hoosiers to 275.40 NT01s for the next set, but I've been bouncing between 275 and 295 the whole time I've had it. The NT01s were a lot cheaper and I have heard they last longer

Yes, in the middle of the straight/kink *another facepalm*... and just so everyone doesn't think I'm a complete idiot... many of the turns at VIR are blind, including this "straight"... you come over the crest and if your car is in the wrong spot, time to ditch... I think that's why it gets all the comparisons to the ring |

Here's one of the better videos of VIR full course... first 15 seconds shows the area I went off. Should be no problem if you stay in the middle, of course! or keep eyes forward
