Maybe next year with some clean runs and less issues. I put new tires on right before I left home. When I actually drove the car around they rubbed and I had to lift it up a bunch which made camber positive. Car pushed a lot in corners but I was excited to place 4th and I know where I can improve for next year. I think I had him beat for a little while but his car was awesome. Top 4 were very close in the autocross. I can't touch that CRX in the drags tho. I need to post a build thread once I finish moving and unpack my computer so I don’t clutter up Splitime’s.

BTDT. My LS1 Miata has an open diff, or at least a very worn clutch diff. I took it to the drag strip and ran in the 15s with a 107 trap. Launch/traction failure. It should be in the 12s.
