Caroline, you know ya got it in you, like I said, once you start modding, I'm just about done. Show Eric who's the real boss.

did you follow jons advice and put 1/4" total toe out in the rear? lol!
its all about practice, do as many funruns as you can and you'll notice an improvement!

I agree with Cory. The top 6-8 drivers in STU can easily be shuffled by just driver improvement...no car mods necessary. IMO more gains are to be made by improving the driver than throwing dollars at the car. The time differences are so small.

There is no substitute for SEAT TIME. I make it a point to run as many fun runs as I can and go to test-n-tunes to learn, including making a lot of mistakes.

i did what chris carris suggested, max negative camber in front (-1.5) and 1/8'' toe out all around. if anyone has a temperature gun, i would like to borrow

i'm not planning to do any other mods. i'm going to play with the tire pressure and seat position. i know my seat position is not ideal. chris said to try 38/45 front/rear for tire pressure.

i'll do fun runs again this sunday since i'm running in the afternoon. my first run was the fastest in the last two races. it's so annoying. i did get my times down during the fun runs though.

I have two, one is surface, one is IR. You can borrow them at the next race.

Wow, you did do alot of toe! It should really turn better now, it'll just take a bit to get use to it.

Congrats on the great time Caroline, isn't STU getting interesting now with all of the competitors. Just hope Gabe for once has a bad day (doubtful though), we're getting close to him. Stephen got kinda close in the 31's, I chickened out a bit on the swing out to, the turn-around at the top of the track as well as towards the finish. Those were the two places where you could make the time, did you see Cory's videos? he hit over fifty in those two areas.
