The track layout was awesome; I was told that they changed it from last year because of people complaining, so they fixed it. I started using launch control once I got used to the track and disabled my traction control all the way off and was able to shave off 6 seconds with my last run being the best. In open class I took home the trophy with the field of competitors being a BMW 335i, and Nismo 350z. The Nismo was running consistent 1 minute times while the 335i started to gain on me later on the day breaking into the 57 second times. I was able to pilot the evo x into the low 56 second range and on the last run I blew em all away at with a 55 second run.

I was able to get to the top of 3rd on the straights about 80ish mph using launch control before the hard break and shift down into 2nd where i wouldnt have to shift again for the rest of the run.

The Nito Invo’s held up really well, they were never unpredictable but took awile to get to temp. I expected this because these are not really an autox tire.
