Thanks for the pictures! and sorry about the flying finish. we'll slow down a bit next time ;-)
WORTH IT! (the wheels) BRAIDS

that (short) little section called 8000 was entertaining.
JVL is wrong that the corolla is good at the tight little stuff.
the fact of setting up before the corners puts the power wheels out in the loose. with dustin's car and more power it was clear that 'Patches' has just enough power to get out of slow corners without wasting motion.
we can't pull through the corners like the FWDs.

my faster times have always come on flowy faster stages, where balance, feel and a 'narrow' car can keep up the momentum. (Garth always gets me on Gilhouly)
and also on the rough stages where I trust the JVL struts, BRAID wheels, skidplate and Volvo rear end to get me through without risking damage.
Man the end of that was rough. I didn't slow down a bit. it was a blast!

Of course you didn't, it was a "rental" !! Good job as usual Adam.
