Damnit, I woulda gone to watch if I knew you were in it.

Your car is kinda insane Alex, not sure if anyone has ever told you that.

Dude, wide tires ftl. I bet your times increase by 5 seconds due to the rolling resistance. I bet you cant even heat those up. On the track, all the drag from the extra width slows your car down by 10 mph at least.

Alex,

Are you happy with your setup (suspension wise) Aren't you losing some seconds (prob. not full seconds) do to wheel lift?

Some of those shots were with 400 rear springs which I've since changed to 500 for the second session. If you look closely you don't see as much lift later on.

Sounds good to me....

that GSR looks good, and IIRC is pretty light. I believe I've helped to push it on a trailer once...

Little "E" baby! Break out the Buds!

Alex, out of curiosity, have you weighed one of those wheels/tires? Not implying anything, I'm honestly just wondering how much they weigh.
