We had a ton of conversations in the pits as to what was needed to settle the cars down. I finally talked with some friends about what they did to settle the cars down (they run various brands) and it seemed that most had ended up gluing the tire sidewall on the front. I did this just before the mains and it was the magic touch that was needed. The cars could be driven hard without the worry of tipping. The SpecGT car was going to be awesome but ended up spitting the steering rack out after a light hit on the first lap. The 17.5 car felt great but had a little push. I started in 9th and the entire race was a mess. Overall I'm confident in my setups for next year and gained a ton of knowledge this week. Thanks to everyone else at the race for making it feel like a team of Mi5's.
Where you running the new chassis as well? Did you pull the washers under the arms out?
