Not a huge deal on the street but in competition we were jamming the pedal in so hard (and over traveling it) that the rod was slowly bending. At Optima it got bad enough that it was like only pushing in the clutch half way. Easily fixed, but a pain.

This is an example of why it takes a while to sort out a car, it's all this little stuff you miss during the big build.

Team Bad Penny will be HAPPY to be on 200 TW tires.. Dave was not a fan of how the A6s felt and none of us had experience with them. Besides, I hate changing tires/wheels at an event.

Although I would prefer 100 TW.. love my Toyos.
