    Gridlife

    We made it to Gridlife South at Road Atlanta. We were using the event for a test and tune for the NASA Nationals at Watkins Glenn later this month. I've never been a fan of drifting but a few of the cars were quite impressive with entry speeds into 10a & 10b and through turn 12.

    Unfortunately we experienced a mechanical failure on Friday that cut our weekend short. We were able to obtain some decent data that showed we should be competitive with the top cars in the class.

    Lol, it happens. The data we were able to collect was worth it. The cars handling and braking were phenomenal and I'm sure there is still more to be gained in the set up. We had some changes we wanted to test but didn't get the chance to.
    We're throwing around some ideas as to where to go from here for next year. Which ever direction we end up going I'm optimistic about the results we should be able to achieve.
