Thanks to you, as well. It was an absolute blast autocrossing! I didn't fare very well compared to the other trucks. But they all had better suspension setups and better brakes. I know what I need to upgrade next. Also, since I've not been able to get the rearend done yet, the tall 3.07 gears and modified Gov-lock weren't helping me any.

Basically, I need the right rear gears, bigger brakes, a few suspension mods, a better restraint system, and most of all, the driver mod. This is only the second time ever autocrossing and the first time on a long, fast course, so my experience is VERY limited. Next year, I hope to get in on the school on Friday. Those that were able to get in on the school said it helped alot.
