Autocross with Akron Sport Car Club 4.2.23
This was my second outing with the car. Kit received Sept 2022 and racing in March 2023. Still things to finish but from a racing perspective it is trackable.
We (my wife runs a 65 Mustang) run a highspeed autocross/track cross event with our local club. I'm still trying to sort out the suspension and learn how to drive this thing. In the high speed transitions, like the long straight headed out where there are 3 cones staggered for lane changes, I think the car was capable of A LOT higher speeds but I didn't have confidence in it. I believe my Garmin GPS data said I hit 71 mph through that area as it was.
I have some planned changes before the next event. Specifically front roll center and front spring rates. Hope you enjoy the pics and video.

The mounts are FFR, the diagonal support is a polished aluminum swedge tube from Speedway with heim joints in it.
