We weren't really sure what to expect going into the race since there's almost no one out there that actually races these. We keep being told that the Crossfire was "born for Lemons racing" since on paper it was outdated, under performing, and over priced the day it debuted, so expectations were... average at best.

To my surprise, the car ran awesome the entire weekend with ZERO issues. I had a team of 6 rookie drivers running it as our "B" team and they did almost 300 laps in it. I did do one 30 minute stint in it and was thoroughly impressed at how decent it was for being completely bone stock (minus tires and racing pads/fluid). It has plenty of power to be really competitive at Lemons pace, and handled surprisingly well. I was worried about the old school steering box feeling super vague in the corners, but it actually wasn't that bad. The stock brakes although pretty small, worked quite well at a slower rookie pace. I didn't get them to fade in my stint, but was also hesitant to rely on them too much and didn't push them.

So yea, overall, we were all very impressed with it after having low expectations going into the race. I'm excited to keep evolving the car into a more competitive car. First upgrades coming soon are bigger brakes and stiffer suspension.
