48.2 + 1 cone, I had no clean runs. Would have been nice to have the FTD but since Elliott's car broke it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

That run was super sloppy too, could have been low-mid 47's with a better drive.
Agreed. Sloppy, but still awfully quick.

That car turned in so nicely at the apex cone on the turn around.

I learned once again that you almost constantly let the back tires slide. The front sticks. The back slides. I remember you drove my 350z that way as well so I know it's not just setup.

Hey, just a quick cross-post for those who haven't checked the rest of the forum in a while, we're still cleaning up from the June event!

This Sunday (Jun 23) at 3:30pm, we'll be cleaning up the trailer that was left all soggy after the last event. More info here:

The "Push Harder, Suck Less" philosophy explained:
Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

Yeah, let us know if you need any help with it.
Ya'll can help me pay for the new-to-me engine! :)
The bottom end is toast. My car is at the shop having the engine installed as I type. I couldn't resist a couple of upgrades at the same time. My car needed a new radiator, so I upgraded the radiator and fans. I will be getting the car back next week and I will be ready to run on 7/22. I will also be selling anything salvageable from the original engine. :)
