I met SGarnett in Cincinatti today to pick up a set of wheels for tomorrows autocross. This was a 2 hour drive for me, but it was also a 2.5 hour drive for Sean. I really appreciate him taking time out of his day to meet me to drop off some tires so I could race the next day (I did at least buy them from him). That's why I'm glad to be involved with this board and the F-body community. I've met some of the best people through these boards and through racing.

Thanks again Sean, I really appreciate it!

Kevin did you swap in a stock rear bar then????

Yup. Right after walking the course, I did a rear bar swap (thanks to Axoid for assistance) while Sam took a look at the wear marks on my Koni shocks from my bump stop travel and generally took a look at things.

I figured I'd give a reasonably close to "real" setup a try. I could put power down better than it ever did on stock bars (running a 35/19, vs 30/19) and the big front bar really works (if you remove "bar-zilla" from the rear end).

I removed the bridge support sized rear bar and the change was amazing. Now, if I could only learn to drive (and get the brakes to work when I ask them too. I kept getting what seemed like knockback on the pads and having a long pedal....then overcooking the next corner).

Considering that this was my 3rd event in this car and I've not run one in the last year, I'll take the results as a good thing. I set a goal of running a 42.5 second run and actually ran a 41.888 (Sam was in the high 30's :drive: ).
