Greetings , this was my second time doing Streets of Willow in the Counter Clockwise configuration, weather was perfect and there wasn't any traffic in my run group. I was able to shave some time off my overall PB for the track in either configuration which I was happy about, but there is still more time on the table according to my AIM data. Tires were on their 16th heat cycle and that really started to show in the sessions that followed this one. Times gradually fell off as the day went on, I can probably get a few more cycles out of these tires once I rotate them, so for the Nankang NS2Rs have been great thus far.
Suspension wise I mostly spent the day adjusting the damping on my coil overs to find a good balance for what works here for me and I think I found that balance. Not changing much about my line from last time and things just felt more planted than before.
Open to sharing my AIM data with anyone just hit me up.
