What kind of drastic adjustments did you make?

We tried adjusting the front bar and shocks to their limits to get the car to turn around on the off camber, slippery, super tight u-turn. After adjusting the car after every run on Friday, we disconnected the front sway bar to get the car to rotate. That helped a lot. On Saturday morning, we adjusted the shocks after every run until the car was at its fastest. I got two runs with the car with the best settings with no bar. The first run I went from a low 32 to 31.9. We made a change and I went slower, so we went back to the best we could get. We went back to the 31.9 setting that felt the best and I got a 31.569. There was another .5 second in the car, but I ran out of runs. We will get them next time!
