spinning the schlicks ..., ... Options

ok, just got back from the AX in alameda. great event, great (fast and loooong) course.

andrew blyholder smoked the whole competition (again), i don't think anyone came even close.
my last minute suspension tweak worked out better than expected, car turned in nice.

but, of course, now i'm having a new problem ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

every time i unload the driver side (left hand turns), that rear wheel just spins. like tire smoking spinning. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)
even in 3rd gear. even in not so tight corners. slight unload and up go the RPM but i'm not moving any faster.
obviously, i'm loosing quite some time there.

remeber that i'm running the 9" good year schlicks. my 2.0L should *not* be able to spin those at will in 3rd gear.

now what?

PS: grant was hauling a$$ out there with his stock 1.8L ! he was only 0.5 sec slower than me! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
and only until the very last run of the day did i finally beat him ...
way to go grant! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks Andy! It was fun having the "who's going to buy everyone beer competition". ..And only my 1.8 engine is still stock, my suspension is pretty well dialed in and as much as I hate it all that fiberglass helped me today. With less weight the car was getting through the slaloms very quickly so I could use all my 85 hp to the max. Thanks for not making fun of my rattle can black deck lids!

From what I saw your car looks a lot better going around corners. ..not lifting that front wheel as much.
