Good stuff Rodger, must be fun being able to use the fruits of your labour. I know running a business isn't fun and games all the time. So getting time to take the car out must have been a blast.

So you think the video game helped out with your driving skills?

It was a good weekend. The results exceeded my expectations. So are you saying running a business is tough, I thought that was called living the dream.

I think the Iracing has improved my skills, Do I think I could race online and then go win the daytona 500, Not a chance. But does it help? Sure. I bet you have to do 500 laps in a simulator to gain what you could learn in 1 lap on the track. But who of us can go to the track every day? I have learned about braking and cornering and finding the line from Iracing. But I had race experience before I started online. So that helps speed up what I learn online.

Speed Ventures has one coming up. I'm curious to see some lap times out of you guy's. So far I'm running 2:10's with the 13CW configuration, 2:10.125 being my fastest lap.

Looks great on the track.

Can I ask what the front rim backspacing is? Also what caster, camber, toe settings were used?


Congrats on getting her out on the track.

Gosh I have slept since We did this. But I think the front BS was 6" on a 10" wheel. The caster is at 2-3 degrees, the camber we set close to 1 degree and the tow was in a 1/16 per side. I send all our cars out to a little alignment shop in a small town called Lamont. They don't have a fancy alignment machine, Just an old guy who has been aligning cars for years with a bubble gauge and some other caveman type tools. But every car is perfect.

Thanks
