LOL, nice! Congrats on getting to run SOLO and keep up the good work on the track and with the Fit. Can't wait to see pics and your thoughts on how it performs after the K swap.

By the way, if you get a Ruckus you gotta do the GY6 swap. Those engines can scream with the right setup.

My first ever event is a two-day NASA HPDE at Mid-Ohio in a few weeks. I will definitely keep that in mind on Sunday afternoon!

JC you need to get them to let you practice driving one of their lawnmowers... At least when your concentration wains on a track like that one and in a car you don't end up having to be sewn up and have broken bones reset like when racing off road on motorcycles... I loved watching your video, might even make another $5 donation... Now you know who it was.

haha TC you are a funny guy. As always donations are HIGHLY appreciated! Still got a bunch of stuff to buy. I think Hybrid Racing will be in love with me after the next few months. haha. You need to come get some fit interior panels! I would love your money and to get rid of these parts laying around before I move into my new town home. Im moving from a 700 square foot home to a 2500, 4 bed room, 2 car garage, 3 bathroom town home. its a monster. got a KILLER deal (which will be cheaper than what i pay now) and it will house my fellow road racing buddies. gonna be the house of race lol.

The difference in chassis is day and night. I can tell you I did shave 5-7 seconds off my laptimes sense last time I was at this road course. I can't say it was the cage because this is the first time I've ran sense the cage, 9lb seats, harnesses, 15x8 wheels and 205 50 tires.. I learned more too sense then so.. Hard to tell haha but man it was fun as hell! SO RIGiD!
