It was great meeting and hanging with everyone this weekend. I also did a 216 on my RE-11s in the dry my first session. only did two more session for the weekend though. 2 students just drained me! I need to figure out what to change on the car to get it more stable in the wet. Anything more than damp and its like I'm on ice.

I'm still kind of physically exhausted. Got home at 11 last night. Thank God I was towing in the Porsche and not the Frontier this time, or I'd really be beat.

I always hear:
soften sway bars
soften shocks
soften springs

The first two aren't hard, the third kinda is. I guess the idea is to increase weight transfer for better grip.

I have stock everything, the car still isn't good in the rain. The rear diff has to tendency to send the car into drift mode, which is great if you like to drive sideway, but it sucks when you want to drive fast. The fat tires on the Z don't help either.

2:16 is a great time on a stock Nismo, you were a little more than half a sec quick than me on a stock sport car
