Damn I was hoping to see you guys in AZ! Less weight is always a good thing, I am curious to see where you guys remove it from? I am scratching my head on where to remove more from my fat girl.

You all ran Hankook TD's at the Finals right? I just picked them up, care to share your thoughts on them?

Thanks Tim

Haha, if your girl is fat Tim, then my baby is a straight up BBW. I love the Professional Awesome car, can't wait to see the new changes.

We are switching out drivetrain to all mechanical and working on a some additional sweet ideas. . . if sponsors come through. Regardless the switch should shave 50-100lbs and complexity as well.

The TD's are great! They are sensitive to heat though. Make sure you dial back you camber as well. We ran about a degree less camber than we would with the RS-3's. Also, per Jeff Westphal's suggestion, don't drive hard on the warm up lap, only heat the tires up the last turn or two before the start finish line and then only run one or two laps. Over driving is hard on them!

Hmmm, it looks like they cancelled the event. And, they only have 2 events on the pro championship schedule?

Yeah they cancelled it... Lack of people signing up so sponsors pulled.

You should run NASA Midwest. There is some great competition in the area.
