Hello All,
I spent a lot of time yesterday working on my Stock Car. A few weeks ago I decided to try the 360GTC body again after not having much luck with it early in my Mini-Z career. Back when I first ran this body I found that if you taped the boards you ended up on your roof. When I built this body I started with a cut down front spliter and had no issues with flipping after hitting the boards but I did have an issue with the front of the body dragging on the track so I started sanding the nose to gain clearance and had to completely remove the spliter and all of a sudden I started rolling when I hit the boards which produced a "Ah ha" moment. After learning this I used some styrene and made a new spliter and no more rolling....wish I had figured that out back in the day.

Both Traveler and Scionara have super fast Stock Class times so I have been chasing them with little success. I have ended up pretty much changing almost everything about the set up on the car and it is now significantly faster (fast lap 3.86s so far) and very consistent but I am not even in shooting distance of you guys. The car feel good I feel pretty good but I think all I have is like a 315s run in me......not sure how you guys are so much faster? I am going to keep at it.

Cheers,
Jim
