Another thing that was weird was the 22 didnt feel consistent run to run as much as the b4. I dont get to race that often due to work but it seemed i was always chasing the car setup, first heat was good and by the time the main hit it didnt feel right. It seems that the B4 could be thrown down and worked well everytime. Some of this has to be attributed to the fact that the b4 series has been out for 10 years and has a very solid base whereas the 22 is a completely new platform. The TLR drivers that I know have worked very hard week in and week out to make it pretty darn good throughout the AZ tracks.
This was the exact problem I had with my 22 it lacked consistency and steering.

Switching from a B44.2 that had massive amounts and a very consistent feel to the 22 which felt mushy at the front and had a very serious Jekyll and Hyde problem was a nightmare. Everytime I drove the 22 after the B44.2 I had to relearn how to drive the car. Not good when it takes a few laps because then your behind.

Ill give you one thing though. Never broke a part on the 22 and I had some serious wrecks.
