I came in 2nd place, although I spun every session. I had a new setup (poly bushings and much more aggressive alignment) and I needed to drive it much differently. Trailbraking was my issue; i was not putting the power down while entering the turn. @ss end got light and looped me. Typical case of over driving and late breaking.

If yer interested in getting out on track instead of saying someday plan to attend the Run to The shore next year. Event happens in April at NJMP. Even if your car isn't ready to race come out and watch. Great people and great cars flying around the track.

i guess an update is in order.
I spun all those times because my alignment was wrong. I told my alignment guy i need 1/8 toe in for the rear and instead he put it 1/8 OUT. Once the tires got hot and lost some grip, as you saw, the ass would swing around.
We fixed it and I dropped my times by 1.5 seconds at the next event.
