She was very loose and hard to control at first but after I had figured out the right shock settings and tire pressures, I was able to really attack the corners hard. We ran at Lot J at the Meadowlands which is very bumpy so I was able to fully test shock travel and clearance and while the rear does hit the overfender on really large dips, it's so minor it doesn't even leave a mark on the tire. I'll probably remove another millimeter or two to make sure she fully clears but I think we're safe now.
This is one of the better runs. Hit a few cones but you get the idea. It's still slightly twitchy and I made some more adjustments afterwards to fix it but ran out of battery. After I was done setting the car up, I handed the keys over to Dave Corsaro so he could take a few runs and validate if what I was feeling was right. Not sure I've ever seem him smile that much. I don't think he wanted to give me the keys back. I think I got it mostly right. I'll have to do some minor tweaking in DC once I get my morning runs in and put on the fresh rubber but I don't think I'll have to do anything drastic.
