Oh yeah, I saw the cabin, just never had a chance to swing by.

I should hopefully be going next year, gotta defend the title.
Monday morning when we did our First dragon run, on the way up to the 11mi marker, my car was fine. But when we came back, something was WAY off alignment wise. The 12 o clock on my steering wheel was pointing at 10 to go straight, and VDC kept locking up the fronts on me in the middle of the turns. Pulled off and let someone else give it a run so I knew it wasn't just me losing my mind. And it did the same thing to them.
So the morning you guys found me, I was heading to an alignment shop. The tech figures the 2 problems were A. when my coils were installed, the driver side rear spring wasn't fully seated in the cup. And it finally did while I was on the dragon. B. that the two bolts that attach the spring cup to the subframe were not fully tightened down from my last alignment, and were able to shift in turns. This resulted in one rear wheel being Toe'd in, the other being Toe'd out, so essentially my left rear tire was being dragged through the turns throwing off my speed/steering angle sensors and kicking in VDC. Lastly, one front wheel was Toe'd out as well. So my steering alignment sensor was 6* off.
Good news is it was less than 3 minutes from the time I arrived to the time the car was on the rack. The tech has worked on several performance cars before so he was competent, got it knocked out in 45 mins. On my way back, hit the dragon again
and everything was right on the money.
