That's not good. Do you have the aluminium lower control arms in the front and alk bushings?

EEK! That's a bit odd that you didn't notice something all this time.

Aluminum caster adding arms
Free caster mod
PDE Plates set in caster position (this doesn't change static caster much, more so dynamic)

That's it

SM is in trouble with Daves Evo. His car did FTD at like 30.9 with Pacpaco driving it. I think Chris Carris might have done one as well, and Dave himself did a 31.0. It's going to be a crazy SM season! As for me, my mods seemed to have worked! It was an extremely enjoyable day, not only with the racing, but with talking to everyone once again. I miss the people!

Yea, that Evo of his... crazy.
Glad to see the car worked out for you after all the hard work! Wish I could of been out there with you all driving around. I took my frustration out on the wrench instead. I'll make it out one day.

Yes it was fun. Agree with Cory, in addition to being giddy as a teenage girl after my first run, hanging with all the other drivers is always a blast. We had 3 new EVO/Ralliart guys come out and I think they are all hooked. I told them only place in town to legally stretch our legs. And damn that finish was fast. I was too afraid to look down to see how fast I was going through the finish but I have to say at least 60? Anybody dared to look at how fast we were going through the finish?

The Ryans did well. I think the "no rear swaybar" did the trick for Mr. Yuudai. He clipped off some good times once he went to the Rcomps and lost the sway. He's already posting up about new tires.....

Krang did great too on his fresh tires. I'm sure he got them scrubbed in a bit. Too bad he had to leave early. Tremendous help checking our tire temps. The outside 20% was running a little cooler but even across the rest of the 80%. Is that the desired temp range Brett? i forgot what you told me on Friday night!

I think the course had some speed to it so having some grunt really helped.

SM will be a blast this year. Brad commented that he will be in the GTR but on R-Comps. He was running on his street tires for the event so it should be interesting. Still need to see Jared's STi Rocket on R-comps as well.

Yuudai, I also heard the point system will be different so it won't be 10 for first, 9 for second, etc. They are going to have some kind of formula to award points based on actual times so your spread from first, or second, etc. will have an impact.

Lastly, it was just great fun and hanging with all the other driving enthusiast made it better. I hope more peeps start coming out. Peace out.
