Yea I ran it for 2 laps and then parked it. LOL

It was way over powered for the course and tires I am running. Jourdan rode with me on the 2nd lap and it was kicking the *** out any time I hit boost.

Nah, my old 422whp setup was great for autocross. It's more that the tires I am running right now were not purchased with the intent to race on them.

I need something last year to run on the advans while I waited for the new Dunlop Z2s to come out. Then I blew the motor the 2nd time in January and ended up driving Hucks car all season.

Today was the first time it was out since all the work was done and finished.

If I get some stickier tires on there it should be fine.

Invest in nice, wide, sticky tires and good suspension.

Yep, I got to ride in Matt's car. It was seriously a blast. The power slide was intense.
