I just put on my track wheels. my 3 toyo t1rs(30% life) and 1 of chris' camaro tires didn't help.. I felt like I was about to drift every corner.

It really opened my eyes, it's difficult to get a good time, I thought it would be easy. I was fighting to beat Stu and his FX35 all day. I was about 4 seconds below the average, and 6 seconds below Gavin (gword256) and his damn near stock G. driver skill makes a HUGE difference, I need a lot more practice.

Do you guys change anything other than maybe put track wheels?
Mostly wheels/tires/tire pressure, and possibly camber or suspension stiffness are things you generally see tweaked. That and removing everything to from the car to lighten the weight.

Phi - I thought you'd be there for sure. Hope to see ya another time.

Chris - Thanks for coming and chillin' and grillin' and for all the great shade!

Chris - The build looks great! I can't believe how much you have got done so soon.

Man I wanted to be there. Things just didn't fall into place but I definitely want to be at the next event. Even if it's just to hang out, but I hope I'll be able to drive

That turbo would look much better and blend in with your theme if it was ceramic coated.
