Default Re: First race race report

I came back from the Pro4's first race at Santa Cruz Raceway. Nice track, SMOOTH surface, but low/med traction.

I can't really compare the Pro4 to any cars yet, because it was my first time at the track.

I put the car on the track and it was fast out of the box, kit setup, but sorta loose. Throughout the day, I decreased the rear droop, laid the rear shock one-hole in, and added anti-squat and the car felt better. After driving the TRF415 for a little bit, the on-power "snap" of the shaft drive made me have to learn throttle application again. I feel very good about this car.

Only thing today is that the Pro4 seems to have a very "floaty" feeling as if it drives on air. Not that it's slow, but can be hard to drive. BUT i think this could be the track or maybe even the worn tires I was running. Again, i've never been to the track so I have nothing to compare it with.
Sounded fun
