I thought I was gonna bounce into the next lane last night at Sac.

They let us make 1 pass last night (no lights) b4 they shut the track down. At about 3/4s down the track my car starts swaying/bouncing like a motherf----r. I almost $hit my pants .

Now I know what you meant Harold [dance] [dance]

BTW, the tires feel strong, even w/o a burnout [worship] . I popped the clutch @ 3500 with minimal tirespin.

Nah dog!!!!!!! They cancelled the races last night. The tree was malfunctioning. The only run I made was with no lights; so there was no slip.

I'm still pissed...

I've always run mine around 12 psi with no front swaybar and no PS hook-up. Gone as low as 9 psi too, it can be entertaining!

After the first time or two, you get used to it though. I think the method to drive through the swaying is to not over-correct too much. Let it do it's thing, and shoot for the middle.

It's kind of like learning to fly a plane. Your always 'behind' the motion of the plane with the controls.

There you go! > that is some scary stuff eh? I about lost it when I pulled 11.4@127! Car was all over the track> Ive been told that you have to be very carefull when you shift not to jerk the wheel at all because that will start your swaying. Good luck bro! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it with some more practice runs. What was your sixty foot time?
