Soon, I hope. I was actually thinking of bringing to NJMP this weekend to store since I will already be there, but didn't get my crap together to find a place to store it. The current plan is to bring it over after one more Nelson day in early Oct.

Also, regarding storage, my friend who has the tire shop at Thunderbolt (TK auto) has significant storage right off the track - do you want me to connect the two of you?

Amrish & Ken -- I'll be at NJMP Thunderbolt Oct. 6-8 with PCA Delaware if u guys can make it!

Hi Jon! Would have loved to but unfortunately can’t …seems like a great event though. I might be at lightning for a bit that weekend (PCA NNJR) and will try to stop by!

Ah, damn. Now I feel like I'm missing out on the Oct. 1 event. Can't make that one though.

Amrish -- if you're down at NJMP the weekend of Oct 6-8, shoot me a text. Even if we're on different tracks, we should try to grab lunch.

Sorry to hijack your build thread, Ken

All good! I’m trying to make the Oct 6-8 dates work.

Selfishly, I would love that! I know I'd learn a lot -- your reputation precedes you

Ken if u make it on October 6-8 I’ll do something to show up for 1/2 day …I’ll have to arm twist someone at PCA to allow me to run for 1/2 day…..

Ken - greg and I were having this debate and I think u will have the most objective answer -

Same tires same driver 1:30-1:45 course (example ridge) what’s the time difference between a SLE and ZLE? (Both on similar set up - srf, track pads etc)

[khcoaching]

Great question. The track plays a big factor as does tires, prep, weather etc. That said, with similar prep in my experience with a stock SLE vs ZLE, at a track like The Ridge or say Thunderbolt, probably 1.5-2 seconds.

I’m out for the Oct dates. We’re doing a private day at Nelson again on the 9th.

Thanks! And what about your SLEz (SLE with ZLE dssv and brakes)? Would that be in the middle - so like 1 sec behind the ZLE?

I have a lot of data on that. It’s 1second. The SLE had more midcorner speed and surprisingly was good off a corner, but got crushed on the straightaways and in the brake zones.

I’ll post some data.

Thanks for sharing these insights!
