    It's funny. I just realized one day last week that I had not updated this thread since after SDAC 27. And now I can't find any of the videos from last fall.

    But I found it.

    In all seriousness, I hate myself for not updating this thread. I fall victims to social media, and should make it a point to update this forum as it is a much better resource that Facebook. I got lazy.

    Anyway, a few of us made it out to Cecil County last September. Here are some of the passes of my car that Mike Vaughan was kind enough to record and post on YouTube.

    "The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
    -- Alexis de Tocqueville

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
    --Ayn Rand

    "To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."

    i was fiddling around watching drag videos and stumbled upon the folks running MS3X and using the 2 speed sensor traction control system. are you gonna try this?

    i want to get a MS3X setup just to try it out on street tires lol.

    I'd like to someday. I hear it is a fun time. I can't swing the time off right now. In the future I might tag along just to experience it. A $150 tech card for what I am betting is a limited number of passes seems a bit steep, even with the cheap ice cream.

    It's not on the table at this time. Certainly looks cool.

    Tunerstudio has a built in feature that allows you to retard the timing and progressively roll it back inin after releasing the 2 step. No additional sensors required.

    I did run into some traction issues at SDAC28 which I haven't had before. Not sure if it was because of the new slicks i mounted. I can't blame the track because others were getting it done. I purchased them from as unused, but not sure of their exact age or how they were stored prior to me getting them. They didn't seem as good as the 8 year old slicks of the same type and size I was using last season. Also, I am still using a smallish 23" tire. I have a set of 24.5's to try, but again, they are not fresh.
