In the sheet metal. I was surprised at how much the car flexed. On one of my launches it got sideways and I could hear the snap crackle and pop from it flexing It was pretty much bone stock when I ran it. Didn't have all the UMI/BMR parts on.

I will run one of the cars on Sat....Friday is going to be pretty hot....

In fact, since the race season is almost over, I'll go every decent night. Although I'll be in Canada one of those weekends dyno tuning the C5.

Sounds like the 28th might be a grunge match...watch it rain.

Why go all the way to Canada to dyno tune?

My good friend Dale (forum member) has his own dyno. He has been my tuning mentor since I bought my car and has taught me HPT.
I have never met him in person.
So, time for a road trip north.
It better not f'n rain!

Interesting about sheet metal flexing. I made 9 passes with zero damage. I'll keep an eye out for when you guys run. I'll be there.
