<div dir="ltr">Thompson fall finale and Watkins Glen, July Sprints, same diff, welded (2021) vs Quife(2022), in both cases marginally faster with the Quaife. In the case of the Quaife results, I was still getting wheel hop, backing off exiting the corners, so not the best I expect to get from it. New rear spring, less camber, this year but track conditions (wet) at Thompson make the 2023 comparison (not included) moot.<div>Best lap welded - </div><div>Thompson - </div><div><div class="gmail-row-racer-laptime gmail-personal-best-laptime" style="box-sizing:border-box;display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle;width:80px;text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><span style="box-sizing:border-box"><font color="#000000">1:34.692<br>The Glen<br><div class="gmail-row-racer-laptime gmail-personal-best-laptime" style="box-sizing:border-box;display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle;width:80px;text-align:right"><span style="box-sizing:border-box">2:46.708</span></div><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline"></font></span></div></div><div class="gmail-row-racer-laptime gmail-personal-best-laptime" style="box-sizing:border-box;display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle;width:80px;text-align:right;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><font color="#000000">Best Lap Quaife -</font><div><font color="#000000">Thompson<br></font><div><span style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;text-align:right"><font color="#000000">1:34.372</font></span></div><div><div style="text-align:left"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">the glen</font></div><div style="text-align:left"><div class="gmail-row-racer-laptime gmail-personal-best-laptime" style="box-sizing:border-box;display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle;width:80px;text-align:right;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><span style="box-sizing:border-box"><font color="#000000" style="">2:46.202<br><br><br></font></span></div><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline"></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 20, 2023 at 4:24 PM Scott Janzen <<a href="mailto:sjanzen@me.com">sjanzen@me.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Mike, any relevant same-track comparisons in lap times, welded vs quaife?<br><div><br><div>On Jul 20, 2023, at 12:33 PM, Mike Harmuth <<a href="mailto:ofracer@gmail.com" target="_blank">ofracer@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr">Scott, I went from a welded diff to a Quaife last year. Easier in the paddock etc to drive and push around. In the corners, less fighting the wheel, more point and shoot. Downside, I'm getting some wheel hop when I hit the gas. I've been making suspension, tire pressure and shock adjustments to dial it out, almost there. For the K Cup (and not one of the fast cars), I put an old welded diff in to get a better ratio (3.89) vs the normal 4.11 Quaife. Not sure I made the right call, no idea how many hills were at RA, but with all the settings the same, no wheel hop so it must be caused by the Quaife.<div><br></div><div>GT6 diff in the car for the big stub axles, Quaife PN QDF8K.
