Who is going to be there? The weather looks like it is going to be perfect, it should be lots of fun.

I'll be there in my blue STi, gp3,#948.

I want to go... but I would never pass tech inspection, and my car is still in unsafe condition. I want to go though. Maybe next time.

I think i figured out what was making my car feel weird during the drive. I'll find out on the track real quick if I fixed it or not.

I "think" and thats it was the rear endlinks were weren't adjusted right and were putting way to much pressure on the control arms before they needed to. The fronts were doing the same but nowhere near as bad. I adjusted them, but I don't really have a flat garage floor so I don't know how good of a job i did.

It kind of explains the snap oversteer and the unsettling when hitting any little bump, but I really don't know. I only want to make small adjustments at the moment so I can try and track down the problem. Tonight or tomorrow I will add a little bit more negative camber to that right rear wheel. After that I will just have to see how it behaves on the track.

I bet or Ruski (blue STi with cage, HPDE3) or myself (blue wagon 809, HPDE3) would let you ride along.

Curious what you mean? Not trying to bash you specifically, but in general if your car is unsafe and can't pass tech, then it doesn't belong on the road, track or not. Hopefully, you're not edangering others on the public roads, at least on track you mostly endanger yourself

The black mustang GT that crashed was my good friend Chris. I'm heading over to his house right now and will get some pics.

Did anyone see it or maybe have video?
