Question Lancers Overly Top Heavy

After watching that Evolution VII crash video I'm wondering if there's any way to counter the Lancer's top heavyness?

I doubt the Evo flipped because the cg was too high. When you get in the dirt or gravel sideways it's just too easy to flip. Ususally one or more cars per event will flip like that at Summit Point in WVA. The put a lot of gravel traps to slow cars going off... the side effect was cars going in sideways would build up gravel in front of the wheels and the cars would hook and flip right over

The one reason why I would be a little more cautious on the track then the person in that video. Professional or not, I'm not making money or winning anything so what's the point

Hmm never been out there. I'll have to try that out. How much to run there? Yeah after watching more closely I saw that gravel was the cause also the embankment too, if it had went up instead of down the car probably wouldn't have ate it as badly.

BSR owns the track and run friday events called FATT for about $175. NASAVA also runs two day events there for around $275 or so.

There's an event coming up that you could come up to watch... should be fun. It's June 29-30. Here's the link:
