This is sooo cool. I might be moving to Oklahoma soon. This could be cool for me. If I don't get in this year, I sure would try and get my car ready for next year!

I'm running yellows. I have them full stiff but I'm running street tires and I haven't gotten to the point of tuning my suspension.

Well I just installed mine earlier this week and at 1/2 stiff I've found the rear end is now loose. I haven't messed with the rear alignement yet and I think that's where I need to head first.

Now, my basis for this is only on my street tires (Falken 912's) and around my home "test track" but I know the rear wasn't loose before. That being said, I can rail through the corners faster but the rear is loose.

Any suggestions?

I take that back. The fronts are full stiff and the rear are either .25 or .5 stiff. I can't remember... It's been over a year since I put them on.

Woo Hoo
What a great day to track at HALLETT.
Jantzen hitting 1.35 around the track, a new record for him on my clock. Barb does 1.39 again, she's been fighting for it the tires finally gave out, cords showing last race.
And DONDO comes down from washington to show the locals how it's done. WEEEEEE

Also got to meet Alice is her name hehe , his wife and family too.

"great day" is not the first words that come to mind for me

Hitting an oil patch at 80 mph and stuffing my car into a tire wall was far from "great" but we did have some pretty good track time. I was exhausted by the end of the day.

Re-cap after hitting the wall: lost brake pedal pressure due to a loose bleeder screw and having to re-bleed the whole system, 4 sessions with fuel starvation, got a flat by cutting a tire on the curbing, burnt through 2 quarts of oil and lost my oil cap after re-filling, burnt through 47 gallons of fuel, the list goes on and on.

It was great fun but ^^^ sort of put a damper on the day for me.

We spent today getting my car put back together. It looks pretty good considering what it went through yesterday.

Have any pics of the damage? I forgot to take any.

Dondo did it, I seen him.

We were worn out by the time we got home too, we are gonna have to dig deeper on that fuel starvation. It's only happened once to us and the tank was on empty that Barb ever recalls.
Sry did not take any pix.
