Good to see a GLR on the track. I may need to get one of these as well as I just love the GLA.

Sound like you are having an issue with traction rolling. I have had no issues with my 90mm wide car traction rolling but the same chassis at 86mm running the Stratos body will TR if I ham ham fisted. I will also TR my 94mm chassis once the tires get a bit of heat in them.....again I can pretty much eliminate it if I am gentle at the end of the long straights......I have actually come around the turn at the end of the straight in two wheels a number of times and kept it shiny side up.

I did not get to run this weekend but I will get some laps in nest weekend.

I converted on 94mm car to LM spec so I will need some time to get it sorted. I was kind of bummed switching it over as my 94mm chassis felt so good.

Cheers,

That is quite a difference... I wonder about using super soft rear tires or firm fronts to try to balance the car more to your liking if you feel that it has too much steering. I would recommend against lowering steering angle on a track this size and with such tight corners.

Good day on the track. I have to say I have learned that the LM configuration is fast. I spent a lot of time trying to beat Duckman's stock time with my RM GT1 90mm chassis and just could not even get close, I got down to 410 which is a significant improvement to the my GT3's 435 (same set up) but still significantly off from Duckman's time. I swapped the motor out of my GT1 to the 787 and boom....first try yielded a 399.7.

I had similar luck running my LM chassis in Pro-Stock I spent a bit of time getting it sorted but the car felt good pretty quickly. After this morning's run I tried again and ended up with a 391.1s.

I have to say having a time to chase is super fun.......I kind of feel like I cheated going to my LM car for stock but I tried really hard to get my 90mm chassis on pace and while I did not make it I did make the car MUCH faster then it was. That was fun.

At the end of the day I had two cars which have never felt better.....Super cool having a fast time to chase. I actually have ended up using full throw on both cars and just not using it all when I can. On the GT1 I went from 1.5mm offset to 1mm and more worn KS Med slicks in the front.....that was all the car needed and it was really good. I realize that running 75 laps is hugely different from running 20 laps. to make a good time doing 75 laps you have to be super constant and minimize unforced errors....I could make the car go faster but being constantly quick is the ticket.

Oh man....so close....I have done a 5s average lap over 20 laps but it is still alluding me when I try to hit that over 75 laps.

Before running this morning I gave the GLA a good cleaning and packed the dampeners. I was still getting a little hopping in turns and literally took a 1/4 of a turn on the rear camber links (a tiny bit more of negative camber) in the hopes it would cause the tire to slide a wee bit more and not catch the edge of the tire and this seemed to help a lot. The car felt totally hooked up on this run but I did have two decent taps with the armco......

MD,
That was a smoking fast fast lap you did there. When you start to string those together you will kill it.

Cheers,
