I'm glad to see it's finally done. That all advocates the 100lb roughly =s 1/10th of a second rule.

Very well documented build...good, informative read. Plus the car seems to run pretty good too

Im curious why the car 60s better on the transbrake rather than on the footbrake?

I always liked your shops detailed write ups. They are nice to read and very methodical.

Congrats on getting back to racing.

Shocks the tires harder and get the chassis working.
