Word of warning on tyre pressures, DON"T go below 10psi
on the shinko's.
Heathcote was running again on sat nite, first run popped a tyre off the rim at the top end.
Last time out nearly 1 month ago was running 8psi and hadn't checked pressures again before my first pass and figured myst have lost pressure .
To be safe next pass went to 12psi and smoked it full length
Track was shit everyone had traction probs so i drop pressures down to 10 turn boost down to 8 from 12,
smoked it again, back to 8psi ,126mph thru the traps sideways tyre off rim again.
last pass 10psi in tyre 4psi boost found some traction still lit up in second
