Way to catch the radicals!

Nice rotation at 0:44s...
Looks like a bit too much high speed oversteer at 2:42-47 - saw some sawing at the wheel.

After that I was distracted watching the cars in front =)

yeah Leh is right... at :44 rotation is ok, I'd say rotation was better on 2:42-47 as I was fighting oversteer there, scrubbing speed off sideways.

Only place the car understeered was on corner/apex exit in a couple of turns but that was manageable. Too much negative camber on fornt wheels right now.

amazing what 1 psi in tire pressure can do to a car

what kinda neg camber you runnin man? i honestly think mine is too, plus theres no place here to really lay the tire over. Straight line braking for me has dropped off considerably. (-3.6)

I'm thinking like 2.6-2.8 or so. might get him to do that next time hes out

We have not re-aligned the car since it was lowered, it probably has about -4 right now... car feels so good right now though but I bet rolling out some of that negative camber will make it faster.

With RacerFactory out of business (sort of, I guess maybe Hal will take over), it's not clear when there will be another weekend HPDE event at SMMP.

Why do you say that? Do you have personal experience with them?

I don't have the experience personally, just going off of what I saw them do to my best friend.

Lets just say.... multiply your expected waiting time by about 6.......months........ and the price by 3... maybe 4.... hahaha

Regarding the wait time, I was at the shop this weekend and they hadn't started on the car.

Regarding the price, they said that they do not adjust the price or charge a storage fee. But I have heard the contrary from 2 other people.

Hopefully, you get it soon and for the price negotiated.
