Well I haven't been to a soloII event in nearly a year now, but I think I'm going to take the golf rather than the Supra just to get a feel for it at the limit.

I've got a few thoughts/ polls

1) Should I re-fuel prior to hitting the course to check my mileage, or leave it as is and let it be a bad tank with a lighter car?

2) Should I keep my milage (written in shoe polish) on my back window?

3) How much should I pull out in the name of weight savings? I one hand I have a Focus I want to beat; on the other I want to get a feel for it as I drive it daily.

4) Running 55 psi now, should I drop it down (tires arn't as sticky as Supras by any means)

5) Should I dial in a tad of Toe at the track to improve performance, or leave it as I drive it?

6) Should I turn up the Fueling? I get just a bit of a cloud (load smoke) now, but I'm sure I could pick up 10 hp with more smoke.

I know I'm a little neurotic (and fuel wasting); but hey I'll still burn less than half the fuel I would in the supra.
