    I had a great time this weekend in spite of all of the teething issues with my car overheating. I really appreciate everyones help in trying to figure out what I could do to make the car run a little cooler. And a special thanks to Sam for helping me change front brake rotors in about 10 minutes while getting ready for the last race after discovering a crack in a one of my rotors. Without his help there was no way I would have made grid. This race group is awesome. I cant wait for ECR!

    Glenn,

    Check out the difference between a "supported" front spoiler and "unsupported"... and that is at LOW speed

    I know ours sticks out too far because it has been torn from the original mounting holes but I really don't see a true performance advantage... Not trying to start a debate just want to be able to have some input since there are no 3rd gen owners in a position to make a final rule decision

    David, I'm just pointing out what I feel is something you should be sure is correct. You do what you feel is correct. I have no data to back-up my concerns. Gary provided me w/ some good info to help your case. I have no plans to do anymore than what I have which is to inform you that you need to be sure what you have is correct.

    David: supported is good, purposely deformed is not good.

    Yeah I think I almost took flight there! Hoping no one noticed but you busted me. I am looking at springs as we speak to try and get my ride height down to more manageable terms. I even showed that pic to my wife to try and explain why I needed new rear springs for my 30th birthday. Ive got way to much front to rear rake amongst other things and I have already cut to much off my front springs to keep up with the rate. I am hoping to have the car much more sorted out by ECR. I am definitely learning as I go here!

    Most of my video didn't work this weekend. Race 1 didn't have anything to show, Race 2 didn't take at all and Race 4 stopped before lap 1 was over.

    So...this is all I have which is Race 3.

    Nice run JP. I knew you were coming at T11 and just let it happen. I figured you would catch M&M and possibly one of you would push too hard. M&M did (spin), but I didn't get around him.
