I brought my 18" wheels also, but I didn't want to add heat cycles to track tires before I was familiar with the car at Mid-O.

Here is an the 2nd to last session before finding that one of my front tires was corded. Needless to say.... in our application at least- RE71R's grip till they cord!!!

Awesome driving Provoste! Such pace on streets is inconceivable (to borrow a word from one famous Sicilian lol).

No, events meaning 2-3 days per event depending on host. The RE71r's prolly had 10 days total.

Hahaha, the princess bride reference not lost here! Thanks

Ok I use "events" in the same manner. So circa 10 days plus street miles is fantastic on a 3747lb car!
That's almost not sportsman like

great run, I need to learn how to trust the brakes more "they feel vague a bit" I never seem to hit the brakes really hard into a turn. Loved when you blew past the zo6

nice videos EMP looks like another great track, I want to visit other tracks now.

Thanks- it takes time to trust using the brakes effectively (more forcibly) on track. That was a C7 Grandsport, not a Z06. The instructor driving that C7 GS must have been on an outlap or cool down in this clip- I had to work the 1LE hard on Sunday to keep him behind! It's a ton of fun to show my fellow PCA instructors the weapons grade firepower GM is making!

Great driving and vid as usual I love that track, hope to get out there one day. I'm looking forward to trying the RE71r's on track.

Well said re GM's arsenal. A friend just got a C7 GS and wow! But twice the $....
I assume you were on them Yokos when holding a GS back?

Yes indeed, Yoko's definitely were needed- the C7 GS was on the OE Cup 2's and very well driven. I have that session on PDR also. I had a passenger in my car as well.

Pls post it. The more the merrier plus I am having serious withdrawal symptoms having to wait till the 23rd for my first track day

Here is my low rider at Laguna

I didn't realize we were running the same number too! ha.

Hey Provoste...so since the inside corded, do u think 2.9 might be just a tad too much camber?
I had a dealer do mine yesterday, got 2.6F and 1.6R. Time to test it out now next week (finally!).
