Track was super smooth.
Mind you I will post pictures up later, however my car had been cut and shut to meet a 1200 weight car limit and use large capacity batteries.
I certainly learned a lot from the other drivers at the meeting and know I can improve more. I qualified fifth and finished seventh overall in the A final.
Pretty happy with this result.

hey calvin - I'm guessing the softer setup theory would work on a M05M as well?
