Once I finally got the right tires, now black and yellow, I found that I needed to adjust the set up some to make it more consistant through the run.

I adjusted the droop spacer and went back up to a gold spring. Then I went back to 20s in the front and blue side springs in the rear. Both of those changes seemed to make the car easier to drive through the whole run. With the bumps and inconsistant traction I would get caught out by the soft front spring and stiffer rear. Last week was the best the car has felt and the laps only dropped off .4 from beginning to end. My previous best was more like .6-.7 from begining to end.
