congradulations to you and barcarc for running the first of these spec cars. We need more people like yourselves to continue the growth of this hobby.
As for as the car is concerned (I am not yelling!!!..lol), nascar, iroc you mentioned, and etc, do not allow hopups that are not approved. This is to keep the playing field level. Learn how to setup the car to go faster than you competitor not your wallet. This is the point of the whole spec class. Once again my 2 cents... took me a long time to earn it so I am giving it..lol
