I had a great second run, but it brought on overconfidence. Going out seemed so easy and fast, coming back not so much, for me. On run 4 it was either "thump thump thump thump" or "thump thump thump thump thump". I can't remember.

Thanks to Steve, made some progress this season on driving skills and I look forward to September.
You did have a great second run!
Next season we practice consistency - both of us! :)

How'd the extra camber feel?

camber change = faster. My 4th run that blew up...came out ot the turnaround quickly (for me :) )and stayed on the gas too long for the righty afterwards.

New tires stayed home but I've tried them on the street. I think you will like them when the time comes.
Critical damping ??? We don't need no stinking critical damping !

Finally made it to the end of the season. A little rain was vastly preferable to too much heat -- had a headache for three full days during and after the last event!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the hardworking and efficient folks that put on all the events. Equally impressive are all the efforts to keep tweaking things to improve the experience for all the participants. :salute:
