Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Run year' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run year' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Couple shots from Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit. Great weekend. If you look real close, all four wheel (are barely) off the ground in the first shot.
You know you are doing it right, when you hear the engine rev up. The trick is to keep your wheels straight.
I made sure my student stayed on the ground...
I love that track, not as fast as main but I think it's more interesting. That jump is fun if you hit it right, scary if you don't haha. Ran this section in reverse during the refrigerator bowl over the winter, defn a pucker moment getting some air and a spike in revs when you're blindly cresting in the direction of the bridge!
Only once have I had my 996 come off the asphalt under full throttle - and it scared the bejeezles out of me.
Same car, same speed but with 8-degree spoiler shims installed, the car no longer catches air in that location. Not sure if you can dial in that much downforce with the taco (or whether you even want to, given the increased wind resistance penalty), though.
Does everyone lift off the track at that speed at that point?
It's amazing how unsettling that sound is when you're NOT expecting it.
Of the 7 tracks I run a year. This is my favorite. I like it more than The Glen. I started doing DEs in a 94 Miata. I fell in love with it then, and have loved it ever since.
Not everyone catches air, a fair amount get the front wheels up. Has a bunch to do with how the car is set up. Other than the ROW suspension and safety, my car is bone stock. There was an E46 M3 race car getting a good 4 inches off the ground. They have had some crashes because of it. Nothing but concrete on either side, so not great if you do not land well.
First thing I tell my students as we are approaching, KEEP THE WHEEL STRAIGHT!
This is so great to hear! I also fell in love with Shenandoah the first time I went out years ago in a Miata. Only gets better in faster cars too. I really don't understand people who dismiss it as a "miata track."
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
