Never thought of this. But then again, this is the first time I didn't get lost on the track because I showed up early, and had a good general idea of the layout. Hope I can do the same on the longer track next month.

Anyway, you're coming along nicely. Just remember to be sensitive to the throttle.
Thanks! I feel like points of heavy acceleration are the best chance for me to catch up to the more talented drivers going around the corners faster in much less powerful cars, so I get greedy and impatient. I'm gonna try adjusting my driving style for the next race, and then decide if I really need to remove the rear antiroll bars.

I just got an OEM front strut brace, thanks to a complicated dealership experience, which should help the car transition a little quicker. I also got the 90mm Turner stud conversion, along with zinc colored lug nuts. They're MUCH heavier than I expected, but at least the weight will be at the center of the wheel. I'll install them when my fresh hubcentric rings arrive from canada.

Running out of mods on this car. hahahah
