I could not help but notice, especially on the first vid, either the camera or your car was slightly wobbling side to side on road undulations, if it was the car, do you think it might help to increase the rebound a little, may be just on the rears?
You know they say the camera adds 10 lbs? Perhaps it also accentuates my errors? lol...Maybe you are noticing road undulations? Increasing rebound damping could be interesting and make it even better in the transitions, always willing to try something different. Will let you know

Have always ran street tires of some sort, never slicks. Trying to learn just what the car has to give and in my opinion that is best done with tires that have some forgiveness while finding the edge. These videos were on my usual Pirelli Trofeo's.

There were a heck of a lot of P-cars out there! I thought it was the GGR chapter of the PCA a few times. LOL
That is a fact Event organizer was joking about it. The more the better Let it be recognized that there were a couple well-driven race-prep Corvettes there that were stunningly fast.

This run group sure had some wicked fast drivers. And Trackrat was right up there at the top of the time sheets!

Always fun to hang out with you, buddy. Looking forward to doing it again soon!

I think that was you acting as lookout on the hill Lar! No worries friend, we'll get you as fast as you want to go. Practice practice practice!
