Hello all.

I'm coming over from the other forum and figured I fit in more here, since I'm the HPDE sort that doesn't spend my waking moments cleaning my sun visor with a q-tip.

My home track is Ridge Motorsports Park in western Washington and I drive a lightly modified (tune, lithium battery, Xida 12k/6k, 16x8 +35 w/215 RT660's, muffler delete, HD roll bar, BBFW lexan wing, Gloc 10/8 pads, Sparco sprint) 2020 sport model. I look forward to learning this platform and pushing the limits of what it, and I, can do on track.

Thanks for the welcome!

After our conversation, I figured I'd stop lurking and just make the full plunge.

Good call. This photo is pre-Xida goodness.

Warlock was never equipped with Xida’s :(

New pic from a couple weeks back with the current setup. Last session of the day and wasn’t concerned with lap times, so I decided to just run top down.

Top down on track is so much fun. Car looks great.

Tooting our own horn for a second here - look at that left rear wheel. Taking advantage of droop travel to keep that tire in contact with the ground and provide grip. Cool to see it in action like that.

I’ve been pointing that out to everyone when I show them the pic. It’s a magical feeling with how planted and easy to drive at the limit it is now.

Glad you're enjoying them, and the rest of the car.

I wasn't here when we first did Xidas for the ND, so I hadn't personally driven an ND on track with Xidas at speed until a couple weekends ago. It was a stock ND1 with Xidas, 17x9s, and A052s. That thing was *nutty*. What a fun car.
