What bar are you switching to? I just re-installed the WL 20mm bar since the Strano was hitting the body of the car, it was just a tad too narrow, but its the first version of the bar, newer ones are wider.

They didn't give up, I just am not a big fan of them and they don't pay out.

I had a 2 day event this weekend in Philly. I got the new tires mounted up Friday night, and on my way home it started making a noise under load. So I went back to work to try and make the noise on the lift but no luck.

So we went to the AutoX anyway on Saturday. Corey got 1 run in the car, and thought it handled great. I get in the car for my first run, and the car broke right after I went through the start beam.
It was the drivers side rear axle.

We went looking for rides to complete our runs, Corey got in with Mike in his frs and Don Sleven was nice enough to let me drive his New FRS.

I had a run that was within .5 of Slevin, he ended up in 3rd in Pax for Saturday about .15 out of 1st.

Sunday I was lucky enough to drive Slevin's car again, and had a great battle with him. He ran a 35.888 and I ran a 35.885
I was 2nd in Pax for Sunday

I will say I liked the way the RS3's felt on the car better then the Z2's, I did notice the lack of power compared to my car. Both day's we ended up on the limiter in 2nd gear for a long time, but not worth going to 3rd.

Here are video's from us on Sunday

So I went to the drag strip tonight. I couldn't have picked a worse night to go, 84 degrees and 100% humidity.

I only got 5 runs in. I was having problems on my first run getting traction and spun 1st and 2nd gear. After that I got better launches.

My best was a 14.40 at 97.41 mph.

No better way to make sure that new axle is installed right than at a drag strip!

Find it funny that you can spin the wheels in second gear on a drag strip.

Don't worry, I have a spare axle now


The only reason I got wheel spin is because of the left lane, no problems in the right lane.

Thanks Iman! Got a little lucky after leaving the door wide open on the left side, but I'll take it. Corey laid it down on both sides, just got a little unlucky with that cone. STX is a pretty fun class, just like it was in the olden days when I had the Spec V.


And to be fair, I'm pretty sure I got him all on reaction time, but still too funny not to post up.
