180hp of Pure Destruction...

I ran the local time attack series. I am guessing my car doesn't have a whole lot more than maybe 180hp? I think I was the slowest car there if you were to put us all in a straight line. Because I had BFG R1's I got classed with the Race FWD cars rather than the street class. I know the cars that took 1st and 2nd were running 110 while I ran a measly 91

First Place was a Turbo'd Integra (though I don't know a lot more about it)
Second Place was a 300+ hp GTI
Third Place was my MCS.

My mods are very basic, and honestly after this event, I think it is time to get a bit more power. I wanted to dump all of my money into suspension first as I think you can make up time fast in corners and braking, but honestly our track has so many wide open spots, that I think I need to do something.

I did hold off a pretty heavily tuned GTI that finally got black flagged just before you see me let off and let him by.

Anyway, the video is rather long, but if you want to watch some and give me some pointers, I would appreciate it! Thanks!
