2.2 foams
Car Setup: High
ride height, 7mm
rake, two stage
springs front
and rear
(Schumacher
white and violet
touring car
springs) 15wt
oil, 3deg rear
toe,
1deg
front toe, 0deg
left side
camber, -2deg
right side
camber.
Details:I
was surprised
that the foams
worked as well
as they did. The
car
was stable and
would work
anywhere on the
track. I tried a
3 cell pack for
the last run,
and somewhere in
the low 60's I
went into turn 3
and ran out
of steering (was
still at around
35% of total). I
didn't secure
the pack well
enough, and
wasn't able to
continue
running. If BSR
could make some
2.2
size caps, this
car would be
deadly for open
wheel velo speed
runs! Special
thanks and love
to my wife and
kids for their
tolerance of the
time and travel
my speed run
obsession
requires.
