Photo of Tockico/bushing's effect

I just got some photos from Sunday's autocross and this one really shows the effect the struts and bushings had, there's hardly any lean on a quick, tight corner. There isn't another race for a while, so I'm bumming I can't play.

PS - the building in the background is the largest in the world, where Boeing makes 747s. If I remember right it holds 8 of them at once. Sure would make a nice place for an indoor race!!

The sunroof was open for clearance (only 6' tall) and because it was hot in the car. It may have been 20 degrees outside but it was easily 80 inside.

Here are a couple more photos from the event:





This last photo is after my first run - I'm pumping my arm 'cause I couldn't believe how well the car handled. I'm still pumped!!!

It's written on the driver's side rear window in shoe polish. I have numbers for our local club's series but not this one. I have to make new class letters now that I'm in STS.

just a thought,
my dad told me once that if you lower you're rear seat while autoxing it lowers center of gravity and makes weight tranference that much easier.

I know not a whole lot but every little bit helps.
