    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    I went up on Sunday, Hank, sorry I missed you. Great seeing everyone, Karen, Mark, Ron to mention a few. Karen was having fun with the coupe out on the track and like the new rear suspension.

    Really good to see so many forum folks at the track this weekend.....We sure had a GREAT time!!!! As has been mentioned, the #28 Coupe performed beautifully on track, and those folks building a Coupe (or considering building a Coupe), all I can say is you're gonna love driving these cars!

    Design, engineering and mechanical kudos to Jim Schenck, Mark Dougherty, David Borden, Hank Lopez, Russ Thompson, Carl Critz, and Andy Salvaggio, for the rear suspension mods, as well as a very big thanks to Dave Smith and the entire team at Factory Five Racing! Every one of you was riding along with me at Infineon last weekend (Hope you had fun, and as I recall, you guys really liked swooping through the Carousel, as well as stopping/pivoting on a dime at Turn 11!)...What a truly amazing community!.....

    After a lot of hard work in the garage, we finished the weekend standing on the podium both days, and posting the 7th overall fastest time among a field of 40 awesome track weapons.....Not bad for a group of grassroots racers!

    Karen
