Nice job everyone, I think I would have litterly frozen up if I went, lol, so glad due to the cold weather I didn't. Car is still stock, without tires, so it wouldn't have been a match.

I do know that it has a lot to do with the rearward roll axis inclination I have setup, along with my front springs being about 150% stiffer than the rear. Also, there are no swaybars to reduce grip.

The car was getting slower and slower all weekend, and I believe that red flagged run would have been my fastest. All I needed on that last course was a 37.2. Its also too bad I figured out that I should have shifted to third on the second course after it was too late. There is a ton more power available though, we plan to find it this winter and come back even stronger. lighter too
turns out we broke a piston too
