I wish I could have been there, and it would have been easy to get there since I live in Ocala, but I was too busy

Ferman is talking about doing it again in 3 months, though we are protesting country music this time.

Hopefully I'll be able to compete FOR REAL with an exhaust system and who knows what will be next.

Those who do not compete have no room to talk ha ha . We hope to see BAD MINI on the track next time. You even left before the karting fun with NoBull's multiple wipeouts and watching Miss America pull his kart back onto the track.

Actually the picture should be titled "doing an autocross
with the front swaybar removed." Which is what you see.
BTW he had a faster time than when Grassroots took a MINI
S to the same track .

starts twaking that car....watch out!!!

Awsome picture xanthus.

I posted a time of 40.359 in that session at OGP with the front sway bar disconected. It helped the car pivot thruogh the tight corners great but it was a little unstable in the faster corners. Would be a great change to try at some of the local autocross events where you barely get out of 1st gear.

At that time Diablo was run completely stock with pirelli 17 runflats on the rear and yoko av100's on the front on stock 17 wheels. Next time DIABLO will not be feeling so showroom stock, for our next event we will have a rear swaybar, light wheels and tires and the alignment tweeked for max performance and a lot less understeer.
