Go 'head, Driftboi!

Nothing special to report about today's racing. The weather was perfect, the course was mostly favourable to the larger MOPAR, yet for some reason it really neutered me (and a few other more talented drivers in other classes). Had a blast none the less. The cold tire pressure was 34/28, and got closer to 36/30 hot - but I kept trying to get the rears back down to 28 between runs; as you can imagine these cars heat the rear tires up pretty quickly and hot lapping doesn't help this. Full interior, car seats, full tank of gas, etc etc - I am mostly still just working on the driver mod at this stage.

Managed to forget my GoPro's memory card today - so no fancy overlay videos; D'oh! Fortunately the family stopped by to provide some (much needed) moral support. Gotta build that next generation of motorheads.

Loved the commentary. She has a future in racing!??

Tokyo Drift is my favourite F&F movie.

Thanks, and grassroots at least.

and the good thing is your daughter is seeing this in the real world with real people present and not on a video game.... 🙂

She should be good for ride alongs next year (out of a booster and COVID restrictions relaxed) - just need a brain bucket.

I like the way the front end is planted but it looks like the rear tire is rolling over....it could be due to the weight in the rear with full tank of gas and interior still installed ....

Considering that it has 778lb/in springs in the rear that is a lot of compression given the change from static ride height. The general rule of thumb with street tires is that you want them to roll over onto the should to make the most of the tire. These tires are (practically) load rated like an SUV tire.

This car hates tires.

Not sure if I shared this before, but these are the spring rates in various FCA LC/LX cars:
