Several more NHIS pix

Post by 6PAK72 » Sat Apr 11, 2009 5:58 pm

Just got these resized. I love the Speed3 bouncing at 4. And the TR has a good line down the chute.

We can't make Watkins due to business travel, so we'l watch for the photos and results, and see you at Mont Tremblant.

That's Sam in three,hard in the corner :shock: (that's no bounce..) fwd's tend to lift the inside rear wheel.

I'll bet your TR6 would be much happier off those rumble strips in three :wink: Neither of my cars like them.

Hmmmmm, maybe I will go back to the less stiff setting on the rear sway. Or, back to the stock front sway? Opinions?? :?:
I have a picture taken in 2A that almost has BOTH inside wheels off the ground.
Sorry you and Liz can't make The Glen. It looks like a bust for the club. :( I think dropping Calabogie and Mosport looks like a great decision right about now. :!:

Three wheels is enough. And the right number for front wheel drive to avoid terminal understeer. If the handling feels good, keep it. Or put a drive shaft to the rear.

Back from Biz travel for a few days.

Instructor had me running on top of the rumble strip - the car felt fine, I was more focused on keeping the line where I was told...

Did the club take a bath on the Glen? We really wanted to go, but since we're the sales staff, we gotta make it rain. :(

Running the rumble strips = okeefine if they don't upset your car.
I'm all over them in both of mine. If the car actually has some suspension travel and compliance, I say use it :)

Even if you don't use the rumble strip (and you should) the rest of Turn 3 is bumpy enough that you need fairly soft shocks to absorb the bumps while pouring on the power early.

I reset the rebound between Saturday and Sunday, and I went too far - Sunday I was getting wheel slip and rubber burn going up the hill.

I wrote it down...
