Tony had me shocked a bit with a call, that not only the light I had tried to fix didn't work, but also the stage-light on the other lane ... turns out the second light was just a bad connection on the cables, and luckily got the pre-stage on the left lane fixed, replacing two parts on the circuit board ... so the tree is ready to get us started ...

What would Tony do without you, Garry.
Did he pick up the cones?
And what was your and Roys result on the auto-x?

Yup ... by a total of 0.3seconds with a 300+HP V8 Camaro against a 110hp 4banger BMW ... :) Just wait until I get the BMR parts for my suspension ... my V6 Camaro will eat you alive! ;) But more importantly the Focus and the Beetle ...

I really sucked on Sunday. I got dragged allover the place.
But it wasn't the cars fault . It was all driver error.

yeah Roy I've seen you beating up some of the cones...
what you've got against those poor things? :p
Well I wish you better luck next time... :)

Go for it Garry... here he goes again. Will keep reading here the planned mods until he finally gets to beat the Focus ... or maybe the Focus disappears somehow. :-bash:

First of all: it's a Corolla. You better learn to spell it right because you may have to tell who can beat you at the bracket and at the auto-x...

Hawk Hawk loves to talk
and in the end he has to walk. :p

Yo Roy, you might look into some caster/camber plates that allow separate caster and camber adjustments. You can mark where you want more camber and caster and move to those positions on race days. You'd be surprized what a degree of negative camber can do on a course like that.
And if you haven't done so, maybe a rear swaybar? I am not as familiar with F-Bodies when it comes to aftermarket suspension components. But I know the factory LCA's suck wind, same as mine.
