I found this tyre pressure article (see below link) was quiet useful and I am sure some of you were still recommended by the tyre shop/mechanics to pumped up 40+psi. I hope this could help some of the drivers who are attending the MTC2016.
http://www.yokohama.com.au/News-and-Blog/2013/September/How-to-set-hot-tyre-pressures-in-race-tyres.aspx
That article applies to semi slick tyres which are very different to your average street tyre. The sidewalls on these tyres are very stiff compared to a road tyre. Road tyres need more pressure to reduce sidewall flex. If the sidewall flexes too much, you lose traction. 40+psi is certainly best for a road tyre. I have proved this many times. FYI I run 31psi hot with my Hoosier semi slicks which aligns with what the article says.

Hey Shaz, I guess that's meant to be Rob Chestnut? I didn't request a specific number so it's probably best to include the surname.

I have the Wednesday off, but at this stage I'm not participating in the third day, therefore I was considering going to the Wednesday night drags at WSID if anyone else is interested. It's just an idea at this stage though.

The Wednesday this year was great, we had the track half to ourselves. I managed my best times on the third day too.

Ok guys. Only 49 days 9 hours 34 minutes to go. Just over half of you have paid your dues. Thank you. The rest of you need to get your money in ASAP. The people who have paid in full first get first priority with the garages. If you can't remember whether you've paid, just sent me a PM & I'll be able to let you know. There are 41 entries for the Trackday with about half opting to stay for the Wednesday as well.
