Cool, glad to see it in use, I drove a FF car there in the mid 80's, and a 76 monza with a 262 V8, hope you had a good time....

Good job, you improved your time...

Also can you move me up on the Autobahn south board? My lap time posted is the fastest on that course but it has me listed as #2. Even though I will probably smash that lap time this coming weekend haha.

I never drove on the old track, but judging by onboards I've seen I am not sure I ever would have, looked ROUGH! New one is pretty smooth as far as surface goes, but there are the odd bumps that give the track its fun character. It is quite an abrasive surface which gives tons of confidence straight away but does seem to eat the tires up a bit.

Man, that sounds like a blast. I've only ever driven on NL and Mid-Ohio and NL is like a technically easy and fun go-kart track. I bet it'd be a blast in those cars!

I appreciate it, it is always a good feeling accomplishing your goal for the day. I was really hoping to break into the 16s and finally got it done.

For anyone that may be interested in going to Nelson Ledges I hopefully have a little bit of helpful advice given the 4 track days I've had there. The first 3 were done on completely stock suspension, with the rear maxed out on camber as much as I could get the tire shop to go, when getting new tires. This resulted in some chords showing on the outer edge of the front left tire (CW track). I bought the SPL FUCAs and had the shop set the front to the following specs: Camber -3, Caster 5.9 and Toe to 0.00 (I'll probably dial this up to .1 next time I go). My rear suspension is still stock and I told them to max the camber out and then even up to whichever was less so they were even. Somehow this came out to -2.7 with 0.00 toe (I'll probably set this to -.1 next time).

With this alignment, running stock sport tire sizes, the Michelin PS4Ss and after figuring out tire pressures I was getting even tire temps across virtually all the tires (using a pretty basic IR temp gun, figuring relative temp is more important that accuracy of temp).

With that being said, my best time was set when the front tires were set at 37.5 psi and rears were set at 34.5 psi directly after the previous session. This resulted in tire temps after the best time session of the following:
FL: Outside - 165 F, Middle - 167 F, Inside - 162 F
FR: O - 145 F, M - 165 F, I - 155 F
RL: O - 155 F, M - 151 F, I - 148 F
RR: O - 138 F, M - 143 F, I - 144 F
I think those are some pretty even numbers showing the alignment and pressures were pretty spot on.

Hopefully this helps anyone wanting to go to Nelson Ledges and maybe how to set up the car. It was my first time getting to play around with it, so any advice to help me go quicker as far as setup is concerned is more than welcome!
