22 X4 Race #3 and Another TQ!

This was the 3rd race out with my X4 and the setup is getting better and the car is getting easier to drive fast!  I switched out my JC Octagon front for Raw Speed tires to get a little more steering and turned down my dual rate to 87% to reduce the twitchy feeling some.  I might try a bigger front sway bar and turn it back up to 90%.

In Heat 1, I finished in 1st with a 16:17, fast lap of 18.930, average lap of  19.818, and consistency of  97.22%.

In Heat 2, I finished in 1st with a 16:15, fast lap of 18.883, average lap of  19.688, and consistency of  96.15%.  I was able to keep my TQ by setting a faster time.  In fact it was the fastest run of the day over all classes racing!

I qualified in the TQ position and finished in 3rd (after a few driver errors) with a 15:07, fast lap of 18.751, average lap of  20.595, and consistency of  88.27%.  At least I finished on the podium and improved my fast lap?  But, I really should've won the race! :(

For the next race I'm going to try smaller piston holes (1.5/1/6) instead of the standard 1.6/1.7 setup, with the same springs and oil.  Hopefully this lets the car land smoother off the big jumps of this layout and I can get back on the gas sooner!

Ready to race!
