Default Cool picture from last weekend's race.
You can really tell I softened up the front shocks.

Passenger looks to be having a good time.

I like the plane in the background. See those piles of rocks? The first pile is what that S2000 hit dead sideways, flying 5 feet in the air and landing past the 2nd pile of rocks. The plane had rocks on the wings. That dude better have played the lottery that night. He was truly lucky.

Put a pile of rocks anywhere near a track and someone is gonna hit it. I'm surprised the plane hasn't been taken out. LOL



Great pic!

After cleaning up the rocks, and seeing where the car landed, we estimate he was in the air 40 feet.

The car is so much faster than the last time you drove it. Then again, that postage stamp parking lot is not much of a venue to stretch her legs either.

You're welcome to fly down and try the big course.

is that a lot of load on the right side in that turn, or do you want it that way to get more bite off the right rear?

It's a very fast left-handed turn. I softened the shocks from 7 to 4 in the front last month (on a scale of 1-16). By having more nose roll, I have better weight transfer to the front tires, thus more grip. If you over do it, the handling gets sloppy. Fortunately, I just jumped from 295 wide tires to 315 wide. The wider tires have a more numb feeling, thus allowing me to soften the shocks to compensate.

It worked really well I think.

I will be taking you up on that. I'll grap the son and make it a father son weekend. The wives can't say no to that.
