no, was talking about the low spot on the left side of the track where your suspension started to unload just as you were starting to hit the brakes....

that's kinda what i thought you were talking about but wasn't sure. i turned the volume up & heard the little chirp this time. it didn't help that i also had some extra lateral weight transfer right before the turn-in

pretty much stock.
Goodyear Eagle F1 run-flats 245/45-17
BFG g-Force Super Sport A/S run-flats 275/40-18

my new wheels should be here in a couple days
just got some repro rear 18x10.5 so i could put my stock rears up front & then save for some 555R2 extremes all around. well, that's getting delayed for a while

was gonna do the 285/35-18, 305/35-18

I think that would have helped. I think it would have been interesting instead of exciting.

there was the chirp, but watch the car load and unload right as you are trying to downshift and brake

not passing that guy as late as you did on the straightaway then having to slow down in reduced amount of distance would have helped too...

yeah, that's what caused the chirp - the back end came up & the brakes locked a little because there was less weight on that end.
don't worry - we're on the same page

Yep.

We keep the late in-the-straight pass and tweak the car so you can complete the successful pass with a successful turn

What brake pads are you using?
What are your alignment specs?

Well. I didn't think it was necessarily too late in the turn. Dude was pointing Jason around. I can't see the speed going into the turn to compare to the previous speeds in that same turn.
