Here's my contribution on the spin part. Unfortunately not so much on the save on this one.
I was already right at the limit of grip and as soon as the rear tire touched the green stuff it was over....

Yep, the IG link is working for me anyway. Looks like your car's gotten a bit better with the spring set you've got on there now, but still seems touchy and on the edge of unstable? Hard to tell from the video if the cars giving you any feedback before it gets loose or not. One thing I noted is that you were low on the revs when you let the clutch out in the first part of the video where it got loose. If you're trail braking into a turn and you're close to the edge of adhesion you've got to get the revs matched or higher when you let the clutch out. If you're low on the revs when you engage the clutch it's like giving a tug on the e brake.

Running hard on the Daytona kart track is a bit scary because there are things you can get to if you get off the asphalt. They've got tire stacks in front of all the walls and light poles to cushion an impact, but its still going to leave a mark if you get to one.

Hmm that's true what u said. Rev match would avoid that for sure.
Car actually feels good after I put a hotchkis sway bar in the front. Also, I used to run same compression front and rear. Now I have +5 front and +3 rear. All that made my car lot more balanced than before.
I will post my laps and you will see that car has changed a lot.

Not much to see here.



Car getting "loose" at 90+ mph in a turn isn't the most comforting thought. If there was an in-car mic it would have caught me cussing up a storm.
