Cool report - looks like a bit of progress and I know you're pleased with that. Always nice to see some of your changes bear fruit. I also understand about the focus and driving. Sometimes it falls into place, but other times not. My personal experience is that obtaining focus is getting easier as I race more but I'm still not always obtaining it fast enough to suit. Working on the car to solve problems that pop up do not help the situation.
Stickers in the US have nothing to do with the tire type. Sticker Hoosiers. sticker slicks, sticker rain tires - it just means a new tire. Lots of stigma around stickers it seems and some competitors have been known to print labels and afix them to tires to give the impression of running stickers....no kidding. Not sure what is up with that as Hoosier recommends to run a set of stickers in and then put them away for 24 hours, which typically means the next weekend, before using them in anger. Not always possible to do though.
Malcolm, P car, F car, all for posers - what is the difference?
