Lastly, since I gutted the car down to bare metal and have not built a roll cage in it yet, I got really twitchy about my safety in a crash. So, I was overly cautious and didn't push hard at all. My actual lap times were slower than the last time I ran the track a few months ago.

I now know that my next project is going to be the roll cage so I can eliminate that "Fear Factor" and get back up to speed.

The car itself is MUCH quicker now and really takes off out of the turns. I can definitely notice a huge difference.
