You could spend many thousands of dollars on your car and still not get close to the other people at the event until you get your own skills up to par (Assuming you are talking about a sub one minute course, five seconds is a huge difference).

Also, being consistent in your time is a great thing; you can start to see how changing one piece changes your time overall.

Thanks I guess I shouldn't even think about wider and sticker till next season? I'm gonna try to go to as many event as possible and sign up for at least one course. How much would you say having sticker tire would improve my time difference with other frs driver? 2 sec just for having stickier tire given that my skill level is the same? Just want to know as comparison with other ppl next time.

I promise my baby to give her one big mod a year lol. I guess non suspension mods wouldn't affect my learning pace? Say like some lightweight catback?
