RACE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to getting some racing in today. I received my new chassis yesterday and rebuilt the car with the new chassis and made a few runs. It seems to be "ok" but had a slight issue with right turns. Seems like the car wanted to loop out a little bit (more than before the rebuild). I backed out some camber(from 1 to .5) on the outside tire of the car and that seemed to help. I also think there is something going on with the rear end of the car. The side links are not as free as they were in the other chassis. I am not sure how to fix this as I thought I remembered how Mario fixed it by resetting the pivot ball but it doesn't seem to work when I do it lol. Is there anyway that I could get some assistance with this? I think getting the side links to be a little more free might help with the loop out issue that I have been able to control somewhat with the camber adjustment.

Also it seems all the practice I have been doing has ran my front tires down to plastic. I am in need of some new fronts. Would someone be willing tonight to show me how to cut my own tires. I am going to need these before the heats tonight as I am not sure I can run another round with the tires I have on it. I tried to learn the other day but Mario didn't want a newb working on his machine . It is understandable. Well, see you all at the track. Looking forward to seeing the F1 guys there.

Thanks,
Jeremy
