I was wondering why you were so down on it, then I realized when you have the data showing that if you guys put it together you could have found 0.9s or something, even half a second improvement, and then you check the results and see that was enough for a win or top 3 it's a tough pill to swallow. Even if you only wanted the 60.7 to match Justin and put you ahead of Annie, it's just so obvious where you lost it you can't stop thinking about it.
You don't keep doing this at the pointy end if you don't care how well you do. Good news is the car is there, you don't have to go blow a bunch of money to make it better or tear it down and start over if you want to take another run at it. Presuming you like it anyway. |

STX is rough, you need to be on your game or be prepared to drop several places. I blew the braking zone into the showcase and lost a considerable amount of time as well |

Yeah, my bro has the 370 for STU if it gets moved. I am not sure how'd that go since BH keeps destroying the class with the 350.
I feel like there's unfinished business in STX that I have to take care of... will see how the next season goes and decide what I want to bring. I keep dropping in places in STX... ROFL.

What's the point in getting launch control in STX then?

Because everybody calls it that (edit: "launch control") on this car I thought for a few years that it was actually launch control (which isn't SCCA allowed on this car because that would be a modification of factory traction control) but it's really a two-step rev limiter.
Just thought I'd share Edit: Just one of those things where marketing has 'tricked' the average enthusiast at this point. Like how the flappy paddles on the AT are 'just like a dual clutch super car!' Last edited by strat61caster; 09-15-2017 at 03:21 AM. |
