is it just me or the suspension setup on that 240 is too loose? the rear dips too much.

and why is the flag at half staff?

The rear is setup to be "soft"
What flag?

The car looked good. I thought you had him there at the jump.

It was at Silver Dollar in Georgia (either Macon or Reynolds...or somewhere in between).
A lot of cool people, cool track staff. Good mix in the crowd, a lot of **** talkin. There were A LOT of Evos, SRT4s, Civics, Nissans, domestics...just an overall nice mix.

I was refering to the American flag in video usually the flag is flown that way for federal holidays, or on military post on when we lost someone.

Yeah that red evo with the slicks was trying to break the stock block evo record.
The record is 10.02 he ran a 10.18 the first pass off the trailer.
He had went to miami the day before and got it tuned and drove from miami to reynolds to race.
He got three passes.
10.18 10.16 and then he turned up the boost and it hit boost cut and he ran an 11.xx.
So not bad, I was hoping to see a world record run.

boost cut will hurt you if you don't pay attention to it!
