Ran this weekend at Lakeland, Fl.
Qualifying: Was placed in lower qualifyer and still had provisional TQ after first run. Second run-encountered bad luck with traffic and lost TQ by 1 sec to Jaquin Desoto in a Delta. Was faster though-his best lap time was 14.4, mine 14.0 and numerouse 14.1's. Ended up third overall.
A-Main: Was leading main 2.5 min's into race when Race Director inadvertently stopped the race! I was furious, and wouldn't you know it, at the restart I was taken out and fell back to last. Drove too aggresively-I was fuming-and ended up sixth as the race was shortened to 15 min from 30 due to daylight running out.
Summary: It was a very good weekend overall. We showed that we had the speed to win races. The car was very, very good. The only thing that I don't like is a mid corner understeer. Tried all weekend to dial it out. The motor-a REX 321P Tuned was awesome! I'll be testing different things this weekend to see if I can improve on the mid-corner push problem.
Set-up: Not far from stock-here are the changes:
front: 1.3mm piston, 600wt oil. short wheelbase, 1mm caster shim in back, 1.5 camber, 1 degree toe out.
rear: adj. anti rool bar from MRX3, set at softest setting. 3 degrees camber, 2 degrees toe-in
