Sunday's run, watts link view Last Sunday's event on a much bigger course than I usually run. I'm starting to like the exhaust note when the car can stay in the upper RPM's.
I'm not a great driver, but I was happy with some of the cars I beat in raw times: 04 Porsche GT3, 07 Z06, 00 C5 and 06 Lotus Elise to name some of the more expensive cars lol. And none listed were in Novice class. Nothing broke, I learned the hard way what stiffening rear springs too much does to handling
Only other car in my class was a '13 1LE with JRI C/O's, slicks, full exhaust which I was able to beat as well by .337 sec. He mentioned he felt something was wrong with the car and something "wasn't right." He is a good guy so I believe him and curious what he finds when he got the car home.
Overall good day of racing. I just wish I never messed with the shocks prior to this event so I wasn't trying to chase a neutral car again each run.

Just shows you don't need an expensive car to run fast and have fun!
What spring rate is the rear? I also noticed you have your Watts set for "Oversteer" mode. I believe mine is 2 from the bottom with a 200lbs rear rate

150 lb springs, watts link 2nd hole from the top, Hellwig 22mm solid bar on "middle" setting, TrueTrac, Koni SA's 1.25 turns from full firm (may need to softer though).
