Assuming you're talking about a laser IR Thermo gauge, it should be easy to find one at any Home Depot for ~$40. Good luck!

Yeah, if you're just looking for a semi-accurate temp gauge (+/- 5*), then these will do just fine. I got mine online, but HD has a few of them for good prices.

My understanding is to run 36 cold, 40 hot.

Swinging by Home Depot for a gauge. Only $29.

Cool! NT01s are my favorite "normal" DOT tire by far.

In my experience, 38-39 is the grease point for the 3500lb 335. I normally had to start them at 32 to keep them at 38 at operating temp. At your alignment, you might want to watch the outside rolling over as well.
Awesome tires though!

Hey guys I slept through my alarm and in the rush I forgot my helmet. I feel really stupid. Not sure how late I'll be.

Was a fun day, defiantly a fun track.

The solo group was interesting, we had people out there whose laps differed by over a minute.

Only managed to record one session, on the 3rd session i somehow got it in time lapse camera mode, so i got a ton of pictures instead of videos (then ran my battery dead). The only clear lap in that second session i got a 1:56.5. Was still figuring out some corners and not driving too hard. I mighta improved that by a second or 2 in the 3rd session, was defiantly driving more confident then. Pretty happy with my first day.

Here are a few laps from my 2nd session where it wasn't too crowed:

Lets see those other videos.

Hah, yeah i noticed as i reviewed my video, i was yelling at lots of drivers out there. I chose to just share a few un crowded laps for that reason (and 2:30 laps arnt fun to share)

Here's my best lap of the day:

I really like that lap. All the berms you could and super clean. A 1:51 in a 325 is really great.

Thanks! I was watching a Star Mazda race there once and saw all the fast guys use the outside curb on corner entry. I tried that and it make a big difference. Turn 4 is now just a lift. No braking required anymore.

skow · 01-05-2012, 08:45 PM

Agreed, very clean lap
