I think next season my goal will be TT, as long as I can get the right safety equipment and oil cooling setup installed by then.
Currently, my plan is to run slicks on the Forgelines and a more rain-friendly track tire on the Z28 wheels. I like the idea of running the Z28 wheels on the street, but don't want to destroy the side of my car (they stick out a bit). If someone doesn't come out with an aftermarket fender flare option soon, I may just add xpel film to the entire sides of the car and go for it (although so-far I haven't seen any significant damage after track days, so maybe it's ok).

I really like RPM because it's so technical that forces you to connect the turns into sections instead of powering down the straight to make time up. Though it does like to eat tires
Once I got passed traffic in my group there was a TT S2000 running out front that I was focused on catching. I was catching up to him in the exits of corners but he was nailing the entries.
I'll have some video up probably by the weekend. Another 1LE moved up to 3/4 but his pace was way down for what I know that car is capable of so not sure how he'll do in 3/4 next season. A turbo FRS made it into 3/4 then tore half his bumper off. I'd like to shoot for TT but know it won't happen next season, as I'll be deploying again at the end of it. But maybe the season after that!
What are the specs for TT? As the NASA site information seem more restrictive than the cars I see go on track.
I gotcha on the poke, have you seen JPSSs new V3 aero for the front? That would make the fronts have less poke with the frontal flares. Though that doesn't help in saving the side of your car. But xpel should be a good solution for that one day the tires throw something big back at the car.
