Improvement at Sonoma Raceway (Infineon/Sears)-VIDEO

[hagakure]

I have exactly 18 20 minute sessions on this track, which has proved to be a difficult challenge. After my first two weekends the best I could manage was a 1:59** . Car: 94 Prelude, 2675 Pounds, 180 WHP/140 TQ, Hankook Z214s. Tis past weekend I did a 1:56.54 in my NEW prelude, 2577 pounds, 184/157 TQ on H23 Vtec, Much less sticky tires (contin grand am tires), and in the heat, 97 on sat, 87 on Sunday. Still have a LOT to work on: Usingthe entire track, getting on gas sooner, etc. Also, I do know how to heel toe, but I think my brain could only manage a limited number of tasks simultaneously. Finished Third in TTB out of 8 cars, car is still way underclassed, can loose almost a hundred pounds and gain 20 WHP and be legal for TTB/PTB. Spun out in oil last session when my predictive laptimer had me on track to be in the low 55s. I think High 52's are possible by seasons end. Not crazy fast, but would be a drastic improvement for me.
