Thanks guys. So I was very excited at my road course times considering I only normally auto-x, but after seeing the posted lap times of the more experienced drivers I am shocked.
I looked around and found some youtube runs and am blown away with how much faster these guys can corner. What am I doing wrong? I was following their lines, but just don't have the grip. Is it alignment? Tires? Tire pressure?
I thought new RE71Rs were good enough, I ran 26 psi front which heated up to about 29 psi by the end of each session. Maybe my lack of aero and horrible weight balance, but some of these fast cars were STOCK.
Obviously I have plenty to learn and more seat time is always needed, but man. These two badass SCCA Miatas were killing almost everybody and although they were loud, they had no power... So I know my power level isn't the issue, it's definitely the corners. Am I just handicapped with my suspension geometry? Are my coilovers too stiff? Stock WRX rollbars too small? HELP!
