Hopefully I'll be able to do it justice. It's been a couple years since I've driven on race tires. Or a car with this kind of power...

I'm signed up in XP at the moment, because he had another open offer out for the FP seat, but sounds like it'll probably be mine, so I'll have to switch

Yeah that one lol Sorry I was in a rush to post. I almost abandoned preparing for the trip but my wife and I agreed that I may not stop yapping about not accomplishing my 2016 goals if I dont get massacred in my own car haha. Anyway, I backed out of it. It really was a good way for first timers to get up there. I could have been your time warmer! I hope a similar option pops up next year

I was tempted to fly out and drive Brausen's car, but instead I stayed home and put up backsplash in the kitchen. Something about off year and priorities... :shrug:

Good luck to all you guys in the land of concrete, sun burn, and flash flooding!

Welp, only got one run in on day 2 due to the compressor wheel eating itself... Typical Evos doing Evo things.

You're best to ask them what they run. I dont know if anyone knows exactly what Marshal stuffed in there but I do know they will tell you the direction from where you are (warmer/colder). If you're around enough you can get an idea of the approach they take but what you have to understand is that even Evo to Evo, no car is created equal.

The level of weight reduction, LSD setups, tire/alignment, etc, all play a big effect on balance.

My advice to figure out Marshals approach, read all his posts. He doesn't post much so shouldn't take long .

Ballpark around 1000 lb/in. Little more in rear, little less in front depending on what the car is doing.

Mike swapped out the dead turbo for our spare stock turbo to get the car running for xp.
