Summary:
This car was perfect, I know many of you may think that a car is never done but let me tell you. The only thing that was left was a roll-cage because I was ripping this thing hard. Everything I had done had a purpose and function that took some time to iron out but it just worked. One night an incident happened where I oversteered and it was sadly the end of the line. *Never say "ahh just one more lap", always use words like another or again.* I loved this car and I will build another cleaner and better one day. :)
Note: I even got to be on track at the Firm (Racetrack in Starke Florida) with Adam LZ. Pics shown!!
