I thought you all might enjoy this
I've driven this track several times over the last 12 years. Early on in a lightly modified Volvo 1800S, and for the past several years in the e9, and I've settled in on a pretty consistent speed. In the Volvo I was getting around the track in 2:37, and in the 3.0cs, 2:35. I decided this time I would push myself a bit more in the braking zones and corners. I was able to shave 8 seconds off of my previous best lap, and did it pretty consistently throughout the day. Went from 2:35 to 2:27 with the exact same car and configuration. Felt good!
Currently the car has the following:
M30B35 with Weber 32/36 carbs (want 38s at some point) & 2.5-inch exhaust
Carl Nelson springs and Bilstein shocks
ST Swaybars
K-Mac adjustable camber plates (about -1.5 degrees camber in front)
17x8 style 42 RS740 wheels with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires
