Pain in the butt thanks to UPS losing the package and me having the brilliant idea to work outside... but camber bushings in the knuckle are done and got us another degree of front camber. I backed it down to about -4.5 degrees. ARP studs as well, so now we also have 10mm of spacer on each side. Testing tomorrow at NNJR

I was listening in on Saturday and Sunday. The STX action was so intense! Crazy to see the top 9 separated by .1 or .2 after a whole day.

As an additional frame of reference for weights, last year at the Charlotte tour, I weighed in at 2845lbs. I do have aftermarket seats and it's an S1 with all the "extra" heavy stuff still on it.
Yeah, she was pretty bummed but happy she found time on Sunday and then the challenge win obviously perked her right up! I hadn't realized it, but Amy had literally never won anything at autocross before, not even a class at a local event. Sheesh.

Thanks dude! That was wild. Even on Sunday I was leading at one point and I was so confused about what was even happening. Jon really laid it down to take the win though.

Considering where the two national champions ended up in STX results... I think we did alright haha.

*huge* front grip gains from the camber and spacers, haha. Struggled a bit with getting the setup where it needed to be now, but had great pace when I wasn't sideways murdering cones lol
