Thank you. I had taken a bunch of stuff to FTC, so I had not updated the latest parts order.
We have another order of parts due in 2-3 days, so if there is anything else you guys need, we should have it by the end of the week. Except for diffs
Gizmo is still waiting on some items to complete them, however I have 12 pcs on order.

Had a great weekend racing the GZ1 at The Full Throttle Championships in Richardson, TX (Dallas).
Qual 5th in 17.5 with a 3rd overall place finish (behind Former National champs Eric Anderson and Kyle Klingforth), battling for position with both of them, finishishing within 2 seconds of the winnner in both A2 and A3.
In Modified, I qualified 2nd and finished second behind National Champion Chris Adams at his home track.
This was only the second time for myself as well as the Gizmo on the new black carpet. I had been up to Dallas 2 weeks before for a very brief testing session before this event. I had never had an extended period of time on black carpet with a sedan before, so I think the results were truly impressive considering the circumstances. The car had the pace to hang with national champions all weekend long, in 17.5 and mod. I'd say it was a succesful debut for the car on CRC black carpet.

mistakes.
The IS was nice, but I felt it needed more rotation off middle of the corner out. It stayed pretty flat in the rear and I tend to like a little more roll coming out. If I was not going for safe last weekend, I may have tried to make the IS work.

Thanks! I tried the IS shell, but ended up settling with the Nazda 2. I took 3 bodies, an LTC, IS200 and a Nazda. I think I ran the fastest laps witht the LTC, but it got a bit damaged and I was afraid it would not make it. The Nazda was the safest and most consistent choice. It had better mid corner rotation than the other 2 and it allowed me to drive hard without making a lot of
