Katie, my BSL co-driver has really been stepping up her driving lately. I was really impressed with her last run on Sunday...

6.5 second spread in the STX trophies.... would have been plenty of room to sneak my RX8 in there.

P.S. Interesting that the '09 seems to have way more lean in that corner. You think the Moton's have more droop than the Koni's, or is there something else different about the '09's? Or were Keith and Mike just taking the corner faster?

Well Shawn matched Keith's time on day 1, while I matched his Day 2 time, so we were all pushing it hard around each turn.

My "hunch" is the difference in the rebound settings of our shocks. I have the rebound on my front and rear konis cranked pretty high. Not sure about Keith's settings though??? Also, Keith/Mike were on 255 A6's, while Shawn and I were on 245 A6's if that makes a difference.

Ya Mike & I went through there much faster. (kidding) Really I had the Motons at half stiff in rebound & compression to handle oversteer and the BIG bump near a edge of the concrete pad.
