Brought the car around in turn three in the third session and drove all four wheels in the grass on the inside. No big deal as I was able to counter enough to drive straight on through to turn 4. Session four I went 4 wheels off in turn 4 and couldn't counter quick enough to keep me pointed in the right direction. Ended up with th back of my car pointed toward turn 5 bypass. Car stalled. Fired it up and got back on the track. The fastest guy getting timed in open class was driving a newer Z06 and at the end of the day he was only faster by .300 of a second. His name was Brian Lock. I'd seen his name on the NCRC site often when I'd take a look at track times and remembeed his name becaus he was always the fastest guy at least 90% of the time. Very cool guy and we talked for awhile. The new rear sway bar set up is doing its job. Car is feeling neutral again.
Thanks to Todd and his Healthy 101 thread I feel great. Still have a ton of energy. I'm amazed.
I'll start loading photos and see if I got anything out of the Go Pro as it was acting up.

Now we have to sit and determine if the sway bar change induced snap over steer or if your tires just weren't working with the track. I predicted that you would have to tune for neutrality and just not tight.
