Default Re: Great Racing Weekend @ WSIR

Well Thank you (HDDP) but it wasn't the Auto stick that was problem. I couldn't get any good radio staitions out there. I was searching the whole time. No just kidding, But you brought up a great point. The stock suspension, all though superb in regular street driving. Seriously lacks on the race track. I had a real hard time with under-stirring, and body role. At Willow on the big track, there are a lot of off cambered turns that would want to make the car pitch the opposite direction of the turn. Now I think because of that wonderful traction controle crap, it would try to compensate for it and just kill me on power. I really don't like that thing. I turned it off before we started hoping it wouldn't be an issue ,and it would let me get a little loose. With in the first 2 turns I knew it was going to be a problem.
(HDDP) however had no problems holding on to those turns, because of his Eibach springs, and Connie strut combination. I too will probably go with the Eibach springs. I'm not 100% sold on those struts though. I am however, looking into the development of a front and rear heavy duty sway-bar. I'll keep you posted as that progresses.
But all in all, I had a killer time with (HDDP) he too is an extremely talented driver. We both put in some really good laps in. We hit speeds up to the 120+ in the straightaways. I think the # 21 Bud car was going a little faster though. Any way we both had a kickass day with our two Crossfires, and can't wait to race Nov. 27th.
