This 15 second clip is of me going off track at the start of the "Roller Coaster" at VIR. Turn 14 I think.

Default yeah, how much damage does an OTE like that cause on a lowered TT?

paint scratches or possible undercarriage gashes?

do you have stock swaybars?

Default AWD is great for the outfield. Still using springs? Your baby is flat in the corners.

Looks like fun chasing that EVO. Did BeaveRun Saturday, got about 1/3 of the corners right. Ran over somebody's fender liner screw, tire went flat braking into turn 4. Going back in a couple of weeks to get some more right, I think I'll take the camera this time.

Default Nuespeed sway bar in rear...

No damage on that excursion. The infield was sloped but relatively flat. I think the struts and springs absorbed most of the bumps.

Default Yep, Bilstein SP and Eibach Pro combo w/ rear Nuespeed sway bar

unlucky on your tire.

The camcorder is good, has a great side benefit...One can't time laps during the event, but you can time yourself w/ the video. ;-)

Default Sig pic is from VIR 2 years ago.

Stoptechs are great. I can brake late over and over again. Just swapped the rotors to the slotted from the X-Drilled.
