2012 DC Pro solo is now history....
Overall I could not be any happier with the car. (though driver skill is still something that will need some serious work!) Car performed flawlessly, no issues at all the entire weekend. We didn't find out till Sunday that the shock settings were wayyy off and very different from side to side...ooops! After some adjustments on Sunday afternoon the car felt a lot better and lot more composed in turns and under power. We also ran used tires (rear are three years old) so I really cannot complain at all about placing second this weekend. Here is to hoping our new Fikse wheel (ordered 8 weeks ago, was supposed to be here in 3) will show up before the next big event as we have fresh rubber lined up for those) Front splitter and side skirts are very unfinished, but it's there. The splitter is still too short by about a foot, the car need some lightening but it works and works very well. Jake Namer's car got quite a bit faster, Johns/Chadwick mobile is getting a complete overhaul with single turbo and a lot more power, Carter is super fast as is, SSM is going to be tough this year even without Andy...:O
Here is Tim (walka) taking the car for a spin during the bonus challenge. His first run on the right was downright impressive being his first time in the car with all new setup and cold tires. He red-lit the left side unfortunately and would have won that round if it weren't for that unfortunate incident I am sure (he red-lit by 2 thousands of a second!) ...bummer! Tim is going to be dangerous when he gets his car setup!
