The new suspension did great, the car is much faster and I now need to get used to the new found grip. I met a guy with a GXP ZOK package that was super cool and it appears my alignment might still be too conservative. He ended up 3 tenths behind me. We shot the bull all weekend and had a goodtime trying to chase the last trophy spot. At one point I was as high as third, but then I dropped quickly. Such is Nationals.

Overall I was very satisfied for my first Nat Tour and my shakedown run on my suspension. I will be doing the front bar soon and got some great pointers from Justin and Pete who were out on course while I was driving. After reviewing video....I have found that I was way too far out on the cones and need to close that gap ASAP. I am sure I lost a lot of time there.

The course flowed well and the lot was huge. I got into 3rd gear twice the first day and three times the second day. Thanks to everyone that helped keep me company at the first event.....I had a great time.
Sounds like you had fun, regardless of position. Good for you!
What is the new hot alignment that you are looking at? I will be going in for one soon! I would like to know what to ask for.
For a G-stock perspective…this is from Per; he usually claims PAX FTD at our events (and a very nice guy)
