Great driving at Nats! Right on TOMO both days! One of these years I'll make the trek out there. I'm friends with Chad and Colton who you race with a few times a year.

Sam Strano won 1 or 2 early this year as well though I'm pretty sure. Tomo results I can see being tossed because he can simply beat everyone by a full second in PAX in whatever car he's driving that...

Tomo is a damn Alien lol! He's been tearing it up everywhere he goes. My guess is he will bomb the FS Pax for next year. FS has a few national wins this year.

SAME HERE lol.

Paid $46k for mine back in 2018 with 6000 miles, and zero mods. Most analog track car Chevy ever made. Still a potent weapon 10 years later.

2 main reasons for going with 18" wheels. First is that it really opens up your tire choices since Yokohama doesn't make a big A052 in a 19" wheel. The Yoks are arguably the fastest tire for...

They can't hit the actual rack, they hit the steering shaft. You have to remove the bolt on the shaft, pull the top part out, and then zip-tie it to the side during the install.
