So...... I pretty much got my ass handed to me, by far superior cars and drivers----LOL

NOTHING like the snowcross at all.... there were some SERIOUS players out there.... with some serious cars... caged, gutted, sponsored, 12' wide tires..... crazy stuff.

I placed 10th in the final lap battle (the one that counts). I didn't come in "last".... I guess that helps ease the pain--LOL

I'm extremely happy with the new suspension... it performed AWESOME.

I have mixed feelings on the Nitto NT05s...... Its strange, but in the 2nd session, I placed 6th

In the 3rd session, I placed 8th

In the 4th session, I placed 10th

The tires are AWESOME in the rain

The tires are AWESOME when they are cold

Once they heat up (about 3 laps)..... you might as well spill butter all over the track. As the track got hotter and dryer.... I did worse (by comparison to everyone else..... weird.

At the snowcross... I would have done awesome, because they are uber-sticky right out of the pits, and the snowcross was only 1 lap at a time. But for longer sessions..... no way.

Anyway... i had a blast.... and I'm now planning on investing in a HUGE set of wheels tires, solely for the track

Thats my report.... I know there were a LOT of pics taken... Let's see!!!!!!

I seriously ate it BAD on the very first session....

they released us from the pits..... and I ended up right behind a 2.5 RS. He handled/drove great.... except I felt like I needed to use the cruise control because we were going so slow.

He finally flagged me past on the last straightaway....... so I hammered it....blew by him....... and braked too late..... slid right into a gravel pit.... sunk up to the frame... almost couldn't open the doors--LOL

Didn't even make it one lap (pouring rain).... and I waited 20 minutes for the session to be over before they had to tow me out--LOL

BTW.... I wasn't the only one..... and that didn't happen again--LOL

Yes... they did.

When I was stuck in the wet gravel/mud at the beginning of the day..... I was spinning my wheels and flung mud and gravel all over the inside of my car, the dashboard, my helmet... you name it--LOL

^^^^ Amazing.... 100% difference. If you notice, a lot of those pics were while braking/turning.... and the car doesn't lean nearly as much as the snowcross pics.

One of those pics.... I almost had the rear wheel off the ground..... crazy.

quite frankly..... just needed more HP to compete.--LOL
