Mt Tam --

This is an excellent write-up and the accomanying photos are great. It looks like the Michelins did well for you, no? I would not worry much about the feathering.

I need to do this.

We all need to do this

I am already planning road course number two. PERFORMANCE DRIVING 2 $795.

The Michelins did very well. I still credit you with my decision. Thank you again.

You must have an oil cooler. I was looking at temps of 240 with one.

Glad you had fun!

The cut you were getting was most likely a fuel cut, on a race track it will happen pretty easily at 1/2 tank even if not pushing that hard. It will always be on the right hand turns. Once you start pushing harder it will start happening at 3/4 tank, and on race tires at 7/8ths of a tank.

Once you've completed another instructional school you'll probably want to step up to an instructed HPDE event. Those are usually about $200 a day, and out your way are often even cheaper. Just look for clubs that have good instructors. You'll probably need to step up to a track compound brake pad as well, the stock pads aren't really cut out for track duty.
