EVO School

[Semi Jew]

I had the EVO school this past weekend and let me just say this, there is so much seat time that my brand new Azenis are on the treadwear indicators on all four tires after this. Probably got 30-40 runs per day.

As for driving lines, entrances, and exits. My times dropped 3.6 seconds on a 30 second course the first day, with me also getting FTD on the intro course... even against Vette's and MS-Miatas on R compounds. It was also a real slow course working against my car.

I also found out that my car doesn't actually understeer, but the power comes on so quick now that the speed increases very quickly making it FEEL like understeer when it's really just exceeding the limit of street tires on any particular corner. I can make it drift through the whole slalom now if I want to, but it's not going to make me any faster.

The most important part of the course was being taught to look ahead on an unfamiliar course. I found I was only looking one element ahead when I should have been looking 4 elements ahead. This was making me have to take a reactive approach to each element rather than properly setting up the car on the element previous to it, if that makes any sense.

It was a fun time, and worth the $500 IMO. Can't wait to hit next weekend up on race tires.

Glad you had fun :thumbsup:

I told you that you would go through a set of tires.

I'm going to go out next time it is offered.

Looks like I'm going to be pwned at the autocross even worse now. I'll probly be running same setting as last month because stuff is on back order. Oh well.

Anyways, glad you had a good time and learned a lot. Did you stick with the same instructor thought the weekend or did you switch?

That sucks that your stuff is on back order. We alternated through three national level instructors.

I did manage to beat two of their times in my car :thumbsup:
