    it was a crazy course today! it was fast but tight. it had 2 slaloms that had shorter spacing between the cones as you went through them. that took a few laps to get used to. the middle part of the course had some great sweeper turns that i could fly through. then a down hill straight where i could go full throttle down then it was some braking. the last section was crazy! it was a bunch of tight little jukes of turns that had no room for error. i had to do my course work on this section. it was chaos trying to put the cones back when every other car would wipe them out! on my last couple of laps i started hearing some noise from my diff. i stopped running 2 laps early because of it. im sure ive wiped out the gear set. ive gone through the surface hardening. now i have to find someone who can fix a diff!
    anyways heres the video. its got 5 laps that have exciting stuff in them to watch. enjoy

    yep. Glad you were able to come and go for a ride. We did figure out the extra weight slowed the car by 1second.
