St. Amant - Why is it I have my head down working for a few days and I come on here to your comments?? Jees.... Do I have to come up to MSI and smack you around??...lol.. Knowing you as I do, I will explain it so you can understand...lol..
At the Reedy Race, a lot of the Invite drivers didn't make it so they combined Modified and Invitational. Everyone ran 4 rounds of qualification (qual points) to set the order for Sunday - If you were fast enough, the top 21 drivers moved onto the Invitational class. I was 6th, Kevin Jelich was 10th and Scott Kimbrough was 12th. All of the drivers with the Photon were fast enough to make the Invitational field. Dave Erlich with his E4 had some troubles in the qualifiers and ended up missing the Invitational cut by qualifying 22nd. This put him TQ in the Mod class. EJ Evans was the only driver with the Photon in the 13.5 and RCGT classes (both of which he TQ'd and won). Yes, Dave won the Open Mod class but EJ actually ran faster laps and runs in 13.5 than Dave did in Open Mod.... I'll give you that though a "W" is a "W"....

Craig - Usually front arm sweep will increase steering responce getting the car into the corner better - Sometimes it will make the car "twitchy" or hard to drive on the straights if you have too much. Usually though, once the car has set into the corner, I think it actually makes the car understeer a little more than straight pins. I've never been a big fan of this so I usually run only a small amount where EJ runs more than I do (always) but complains at times about his car going straight...lol...

My car was very nerves last race. I drive TOP Scythe full optioned.
Hat the front to blocks 1 and 0. think that i will put the 1,5 and 0 back.
After a few laps my rear tires got more grip and than it was better but not as good as it was before with the 1,5 and the 0. I got more steering but this was to much.

I'll keep an open mind with the new car though, obviously it works
