Thank you! I noticed a can brake a bit later too on the back straight as mentioned. The few times I have braked later and harder my right front passenger tire locks up and points me straight vs being able to slightly keep left. In turn, cutting my turn in a lot for that turn. Felt like I was losing speed. I just need more practice on that turn and focus on it next time as it seems my biggest weak point besides entry into Oak Tree.

I asked other ST/TT5 NC Miata's if they have any aftermarket oiling components and they don't. Factory there is an oil pan baffle and even the Cup Cars which probably pull a bit more grip don't have any aftermarket parts that I'm aware of.

I'm using AIM Solo DL 2 which plugs into the ECU. Then using Race Render to combine those logs and the Go Pro video. Takes a bit to synchronize the data/video time but I've gotten much better even after a few videos. The braking means whatever the AIM picks up. The AIM was a parameter for braking power or something for the NC CAN ECU. It's in numbered points. Not sure what AIM uses to read that from the ECU but that's the way it is. The higher the number the farther the pedal I assume. Looks like 1 and 2 are light to medium braking, 3 is around abs/hard braking/can be sliding slightly, and 4 is hard abs/sliding after watching multiple videos.
