Ran the first auto-x of the season on Saturday. I didn't have time to change the suspension from my track setup to auto-x setup so I just ran her like she was. Whoa....lotsa fun! I was bouncing all over the parking lot like a ping pong ball....It was actually alot of fun but not the fastest way around the course at Candlestick Park.
I had 450lbs springs in the rear....just a tad to stiff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm at Buttonwillow this coming weekend for a Time Trial, but when I get back I have to get ready for another auto-x and this time she's going to get the 250lbsers I used last year. Much easier to turn the car when it isn't airborne..... It's really amazing how the setups and the different venues make a car have multiple personalities. At Laguna Seca and Sears Point, the stiffer springs and rear wing make the car very easy to drive fast, stable and predictable. Turn in is awesome and overall the car inspires confidence. Go lower speed with uneven pavement and the car is a handful to drive. As alot of people have said over and over....setup....setup....setup..... Hey...If I didn't have to work to support my racing habit, I'd be able to setup the car in time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Just thought I'd share my observations. Bill P. |
