NC Miata Thunderhill West 2/25/24

8th track day on these V730s, pretty sure they're heat cycled out but still some grip left. Hard to dial in the hot pressures as the tires were far below the wear bars. Fairly satisfied with the optimal time of 1:30.53. I believe a 1:28 is in there with colder weather, cleaner driving, not wet dorito, newer V730s, and a better driver. I ended up replacing the Progress rear ARB with the OEM one due to the tires biasing towards oversteer when heat cycled.
T1 and T2 were disastrous in this clip, need to be more decisive on the throttle. Need to gain confidence to do T5 at full throttle. Overbraked for T6. T7 was a bit inconsistent, the brakes were cooking in this session due to having to dice it up in the braking zones to pass people.
