April 5th event @ Club Loose was in one word, Amazing!
Many great drivers with everyone being super helpful.

On a technical note: There is about half inch in space between lower control arm and the front rim at static max lock. During the event due to loads the lower arm showed more wear...I'm not going crazy but I painted over the old spot I had cut. The wheel cut some 5mm more of it out and tire polished it up again...I will try some 20 or 25mm front spacers.IMO the More angle = more fun because you can save yourself.

In the end I was doing entries at about 50-55mph. Just have to learn / build confidence in yourself and the car. Initiating well, reacting in the moment not after the weight shift is key to a fun drift IMO. Cannot wait for the next even!!
