Well ... I don't know what to say about my 3 cars. Check that... Yes I know... Can you say SLOW, REALLY SLOW!

I would take a month off to figure my speed problems out, but then I might fall even further behind. Is that even possible being that my cars are dead last anyway!

Either way I'll have a couple of BASX cars next month!

I'm thinking of sending law and order in for the basx pro and adding a street pro

As for your question LRW, I would just run both.

Indeed a great race guys! As several have mentioned, the online viewing experience was a vast improvement over the previous month. Way to keep the improvements coming Joel! Thanks for listening to the feedback and moving forward with it.

JMR, you had me scared with all that speed. I'm at a little more at peace now. Mistakes happen, it's all part it. Even the pros can make a mistake, I remember one pro making this same mistake not too long ago. When you run a fleet you are bound to have a mishap.

Congratulations to all the winners! See all you guys again next month.

I only went back and reviewed your Am car, but it looks like you were just a tiny bit light on steer on that one to me. Your first run in the black lane had the car loose all the way but when it moved to the red lane (where you only had a car adjacent to your down wheel side) the car held the rail the whole way. The next run in white, it was loose at the transition which cost you a few thousandths. On it's last run, it was just enough ahead of the car to it's left that it held the rail even though it only had a car next to it's raised wheel side. BASX cars are very dependent on their neighbors for their speed. If you can get a tiny bit out on the other cars then you won't get as buffeted by their air. Many times, a BASX car that makes the finals won't be as quick when running in a tighter group with the faster cars in the finals. So if you're a little ahead or a little behind you can get by with light steer but if you're even up it might make you loose. I'd recommend not being behind though!

It went 2.9732 in black and was very loose, 2.9614 in red and looked pretty straight, 2.9677 in white and was loose but not quite as bad as the black run, and 2.9668 in blue. Seems like the black lane tends to favor the BASXers but your car was too loose to take advantage of that. It's tough to judge what a car "should" run when it's off a bit on the tune but if it's able to put down a 2.961 then it should just need a few minor tweaks to be able to get that across all the lanes. If it were me, I would seal in in a plastic bag when it comes back, then add a half inch of steer right before the next race and send it right back as long as your prep held up. Don't doubt your skills man!

Looks like an absolute crap shoot to me. Take the white lane, for instance. That is the one that blew my average to hell and kept me out of the finals

My faster car ran a high 68 in that lane while my slower one ran a 62.
