Yup. He thought it was by a half second, but I told him it was way smaller than that. Something clicked at Crows, and yup, still feel the change. Leveled up.

Yeah, feels great. Ask AK, he was only .800 off me. His best drive to date for sure and I'm way proud of him.

Still feel like I'm driving timid though, but just a bit more aggressive, and that's probably got me .500 to .750 second faster, but I know there is much more room. I'm really not getting the most of the car.

The car... **** is insane to me. Used to be if I hit the gas too much out of a turn it would push. Now it pushes a little, and then turns in all of a sudden. Simply having more power and spinning some tires is making the drivetrain work better, esp the rear diff. Car is a lot of fun to drive again, and just feels "right" with the amount of power and the way it comes on now with the small turbo and e85.

Although, I feel like there could have been a second or two shaved off my time lol
With better tires, possibly.

Ended up running a 34.09 with my rear hanging out in a few turns (flat black e30). I also missed work -- had no idea that you HAD to work even if there were tons of people working each "job".

^ You always have to work. That just means your times are disqualified. After your third offense you're banned for the rest of the year at thr minimum. At least you know know now.

Yeah it might sound weird at first, but since this is a total volunteer deal everyone has to help out to keep the events running smooth.

Agreed. This is one of those things when a lot of people pitch in little things, the impact is great.

@Calsoldier, there are a bunch of little things that you can do which can make things way easier for the chairs. Though these things don't really count as work assignments, they have a huge impact. Ex. If you are on your way to grab lunch, why offer to pick up lunch for the chairs? It is only a few minutes more for you, but is a world of a difference for the chairs.
