Default Mad downforce yo!

Here's the RRG.com front splitter creating so much downforce, the rear of the car lifts off the ground. Or maybe it's the new Carbotech pads...

Yesterday was the first time in a month I've driven the car. We went out to a local Solo-II event to run "time only" and had a blast. Poor Nash took a cone under his car and ripped the lower radiator hose off. Lost all of the coolant but thankfully no other damage. Terri took some amazing pictures.

One more beauty shot.
PS...... these super rare, super lightweight, Willamette Custom 13x8 wheels will be for sale soon.

5" backspace.

Sorry about the links. I'm not sure why I can't link to those.

Thanks Ben.
I keep the ITA lettering on the car in hopes that Mrs. Johng changes her mind and lets me go racing. I should just take them off. The ITC lettering is my local Solo-I classification. The other letters refer to Solo-II.

Oh, come on! Buck up, leave the stickers on the car and at least race in the Novice group next year. Hell it's just an advanced HPDE with passing anywhere.

Hell, look at James' car... with the exception of his self-inflicted hood and roof damage, he hasn't been in any problems...

I understand. You know my situation, and how bad I want to be out there.


Keep watching this forum for more details on the wheels.
