Back on the 18th, I spent a couple of hours on Shannonville‘s “Long Track” layout (much more fun than the Fabi lay-out). I’m happy to report that the Big Enchilada sure made a difference in horsepower. Back in June, pre-mods, Ginger topped-out at 145kph on the long back straight. This time around, she hit 180kph — a 35kph increase is pretty huge, I would say.

Another interesting comparison was that in June, I was taking the turn at end of that straight at between 110 and 120kph, which I’m told is pretty respectable. This time around, the higher approach speed, coupled with my braking much later, appears to have driven me to brake more than needed, thus reducing my cornering speeds to the 90 to 100kph range.

My last outing with Ginger will be November 1, again at Shannonville. I’ll be using the time to work on that corner entry, which might be even more interesting if my new boost controller profile increases that terminal velocity even more. :)
