You guys kill me. I LOVE IT!

My guess is... kinda like having to do something you know you should have.. and the longer it goes without being done, the harder it is to swallow your pride and just do it.

That or he was just lazy. Yeah..Probably lazy.

My guess to the answer to that question is: It was easier to build an AMX than it was to take 10 minutes to diagnose the problem.

Sieg - I also drive by feel, and I don't have to be on a track to be consciously aware that I am. On the track, I'm also driving with some awareness of the sounds of cornering. The engineer is on break during such times ands deals with things later.

Got the gas pedal made, and the bias adjuster mount done. Made the go pedal twice as big as the brake. Still haven't driven it, will flog it tomorrow.

Got the car out and flogged it pretty hard with the new masters. 120 to 0 stops were pretty good, the dialing in process was a little hairy. It is easy to dial in enough rear brake to make the rear pass the front in a panic stop, if you don't pay attention.
