Still Nursing a bad racing hangover. At least I think that what it is. Bad enough I didn't go Saturday after packing my truck up because my disposition was so raw, bad enough I'm writing this from bed at 5:50pm and expecting to be asleep for the evening in a couple of minutes.
Hopefully in a couple of weeks.

Have a race weekend behind me, with rain and cold.
Had no chance with my EVO 6 and was last.
Drive only my TRF and use the EVO as spare parts and hope for a EVO 6 MS.

I'm loving my evo6, I think it was better out of the box than my 418.. Of course they both need a proper dialing in though. I was able to get it at a good price not $600 like some places. Was about $340 plus $40 shipping from Asia.

Can you give us some more detail? Track? Class? Tires used? What did you find problematic and how you addressed it?

Are any of you guys using anything in front of the battery to prevent it from moving during paint trading sessions? It seems like having something to stop the battery from moving forward on impact would help the battery tape do its job. I've seen a picture or two of someone using some sort of plastic shock screwed through the chassis hole in front of the battery, pointed with the flat side toward the battery. Any other creative solutions?

With scales.
Why would you lock out the spring preload? The whole reason to corner weight the car is to set the preload!
I set the car up where it's ready to run, set the ride height, and then weigh it. You can see where the light corner is. In the evo6, it's actually the LR that's heavy. Since I can't get weight out of the LR, I add some back to the RF (because the car is underweight as it is).
For users that have no idea what I'm doing, read

If your track doesn't check ride height, it's not a big deal. At a big race where they check ride height every round, on carpet, when the grip comes up, and cars start to traction roll, it's a really big deal.
Mind you, my car is underweight. I must add ballast somewhere.
