My first time at Road America. Wow, what a venue!

(my PDR died prior to this session so this upload is from my Garmin Catalyst)

Being new to RA, I decided to be conservative and run in the intermediate group. I was planning on using the previously used Goodyear Supercar 3R’s but Tire Rack sent us a bad tire and it was too late to find another. The net result was I ran on my (1.5 track day old) Michelin PS4S’s. They did better than I expected and I had a great time learning the track on tires that talked a little. 

Conditions: 85 degrees, breezy, low humidity and sunny.. Beautiful.

Traffic was significant during the first 2 of 4 sessions, but we staged late in the last two sessions of the day and was able to get some mostly open laps – resulting in the days best of 2:45.11. The C8 continues to be very predictable and confidence inspiring. As in the first 3 track days with this car, I ran in Track/Sport 1 which leaves stability control active. 

‘Wolfpaq 3.0’ is a 2022 C8 Corvette Z51 and has magnetic shocks/PTM. Mods from ‘Factory Stock’: Lowered ¾” front and back on Paragon collars, GM-spec track alignment, GM brake ducts, Girodisc rotors front/rear, G-Loc R12 track pads front/rear and SRF fluid. On this track day, I ran used PS4S runflats (OEM) on stock wheels. 

Can’t wait to get back to RA to try out some Cup2’s and/or some R7’s.
