Paul, I've been toying with mod TC over the last few days and find it quite a challenge and large step up from 17.5, and even 13.5. It's shockingly fast and I have a renewed respect for those of you on the pro level that manage to run their mod cars fast and consistent on a regular basis.

Over the last few days I was finally able to best my 17.5 hot lap time, but am still a ways away from my 13.5 times (~8.2s/lap). My question is: when did you start running mod relative to stock? Did you leap into it or was it a progression? I find that my driving skill is generally on an upward trajectory, but it is not a constant slope, as there are seemingly large spans of no growth followed by short bursts. I am wondering if this is a common phenomenon. Do you have a public racing resume or driver's profile available somewhere? If so, I'd like to check it out.

thx, Sam
