Just make sure you have some blank setup sheets to log down the setup that works for you at Toledo. Definitely make sure you log the traction of the surface and at what temps; that is very important.

With my RRR last year, I was running 40s up front and 42s in the rear. Its not the MTX-3 but its a good start. I imagine the MTX-3 will be similar.

Get your car dialed @301 when traction is up and you will be rite on target for the GLC. You will only have to gear down a bit.

INS at the GLC
INS boxes are not a mandatory item here yet at our track. Perhaps in the future to keep the noise level down, but if you want to run one to do your part to keep my ears from hurting, hey thanks.
I'm running one this year and it does make a difference on the ears. Yeh yeh I know, you like all that noise....

I think the big mistake our hobby makes is allowing a small group of people to define the sound our cars make as noise. Twelve screaming monkeys charging down the straight at 40k is music to many peoples ears, like a twelve piece symphony!! Noise to me are those obnoxious college football fans banging symbals and yelling on Saturday afternoons while I pull weeds in my yard. They are the ones who need a INS box taped to their mouth when entering the gate.
