Yes that was me. Road is too new, understeer followed by a touch of snap oversteer. Shiny road is no fun! Went to Matheisin park and hiked around and the GF shot photos. At bob evans for dinner now

the black paint idea is just a thought, Im on the fence about it just like everything else I am going to do. (engine/trans, gt4 front, ssIII splitters, how I'm going to set my exhaust up) still haven't quite figured it all out yet wink.gif
oh, and as stated at the meet. your car = bowdown.gif

noob!

I was feeling the front end slide out from under me on throttle so I added a little braking to get the front bite which is when the back end wanted to snap somewhat which I steered into and then against and was all fine again. passenger stared at me with fear in her eyes, mouth agape. one of the few times I've had my tires squeal. that road needs atleast one winter on it to wash the surface, if the road is shiny then there is still too much tar/oil ontop it and the gravel is too tightly packed for the tire rubber to grab onto. when loaded a tire literally gets smooshed into the road surface at a microscopic level and grabs onto the road. shiny road is bad, I knew that as soon as I saw how still brand new it was. trust me, in a year or even 6-8 months it'll be WAY better in terms of grip and cornering. too new=bad, too old=bad, between new and old=perfect.

nooooo there was no noob here... i was behind him and all i saw was a puff of white smoke. the back end kick out and he slammed on the brakes, because there was a car right there. i thought he hit them for sure! lol it was all good fun with my stupid snow tires though... sssskkkkkwwwweeeeeeellllll!!!!!!! aaaa crap im not turning ! hahahah

yup shes lookin all fancy again smile.gif hopefully for a looooooooong time haha
Its too bad you guys couldn't come kindasad.gif you woulda had a good time. hope to see ya at the next meet
I would have loved to have made it out today. Unfortunately, it just wasn't in the cards for me. Pics look good, sounds like everyone had a great time! Although we won't be able to go to Starved Rock or do any kind of BBQ, it might be good to meet up at some point this winter and get some dinner. Seems like the vast majority of people are up north, so I can make the drive and meet you guys up there.
