I'm just getting into 1/12 scale racing and our asphalt is supremely smooth, but I love the car. Responds really well to setup changes and is super easy to drive with the box stock set up. I went to the yellow springs up front and 50k in the damper tubes with no front brace and the car is almost dialed. I need to pick up another half second at least to be on pace with the faster guys in the region, but at least half of that is driving ability and setup compromise. I usually trade a few tenths of lap time for a car that is easier to drive and more consistent. The Eclipse seems to be a great match for me.
Everyone comments that it looks like it's on rails.
Here's a video of the track that just came out. It's a fairly new facility and will host a national race soon. Things are looking up in central Texas.
