The weather was awesome. I wish Florida would stay like this year round I'm still struggling with the trans brake/ Caltrac issue but last night I think I started to make some progress. I got 5 passes in altogether. I could have had 2 more if I wanted to by I did what I set out to do. I primarily wanted to test tire pressures only but also changed a couple of rear shock settings too. I started with 13 lbs in the rears, second pass went to 12.5, then 13.5, back to 13 and last pass 10.5. The Ranchos started at 6, then 4 then ended up on #2. The car is still spinning but the last pass showed an improvement at 10.5 with the shocks on #2. Specially considering Sunshine tends to go away as the night wears on.

1st 1.431 6.444 106.74
2nd 1.432 6.403 107.23
3rd 1.439 6.403 107.20
4th 1.434 6.401 107.32
5th 1.415 6.406 106.87

Were you taking video of each pass.... did you try
shock setting in the upper numbers.... with the video
you can see how much the back end lifts as well as
the front... its a big help

Yeah, I had 2 different people taking video. I'll have to wait until I get them to watch.
