Track adjustments

[coyled]

I spent Friday at firebird west with an instructor, Ross Thompson. Saturday, I ran at PIR. Ross is a former Bonderaunt instructor and Trans am driver. I learned many things about car control from Ross. With him driving, I was holding my breath at first. Ross helped with the chassis set up. I thought it was pushing on entry and continued pushing. Ross said the entry is fine its a mid corner push. We added rebound in back, some rebound in front , less bump in front and slightly less bar in front. The cobra is way better now. I would not have known the adjustments to make based on my feed back. The cobra now uses the front tires as we have finally got some forward bite in the car. The front slicks look like they have been used finally. On Saturday, PIR was wet in the morning. By the last session, the cobra was quicker than ever. Other than the fact that my auburn is out, so there was no off the corner traction, it was a great day. The funny part is, my arms are not pumped any more when I get out of the cobra. I learned to not fight the car on turn in any more. Faster, smoother and more fun now. Driver still needs the most work.
