Hey guys..was running our door asphalt this weekend with my L4. Traction was inconsistant. The track was sprayed with fruit punch and was super stuck for the touring cars.
My set up was stock springs in front. Purp frnt, pink rear. Olive center spring 30 wt oil. .63 plate ride height was 4.5 and 1 deg toe in. After 3.5-4 minutes all my traction would be gone and I'd be literally sliding down the straightway sideways under power. I was using Paragon, then SPF 30 then both. both seemed to work the best but still didnt last longer than 3-4 minutes. Very strange, never had my car act the way it did. Also the track was somewhat bumpy causing the car so skip irratically entering/exiting corners?? Any setup tips that can help this? Drop to black center spring with 20 wt??? what should I do.

Makes the new carpet track opening up in SoCal area look better and better!!!
