from; [ http://www.onelapsupra.com/OneLap2003/update01/index.html ] The skidpad competition at the Tire Rack was in a few hours, and it looked like rain was about to hit that area. Your time (or skidpad grip in this case) counts whether it’s wet or dry, so if somebody gets there before you and runs in the dry, and you run in the wet, that’s the way the times stand. We rapidly drove to South Bend, emptied the car, and got on the skidpad. A real small, 200ft skidpad that we ran in both directions.
Averaging the better of two laps around the skidpad in each direction, we ran 1.016g, which was a 4th place finish. Stupid understeer – I couldn’t throttle steer at all around that little skidpad. Paul Gerrard in the Ruf Porsche won the skidpad event, and told me afterwards that he unhooked the front swaybar for more oversteer. I wish I would’ve done that. having a firm front end is not the best suspension setup, hense, I removed my strut tower bar. something to consider track fellows.
