ALL AP1's are driven by people of various degrees of talent

Some don't know how to drive it, and they blame the car for their own lack of skill
It's not the car, it's the f'ing drivers
Sorry, I'm not yelling at you, it's just that I'm just sick and tired of all the condescending attitudes towards AP1's. The cars are f'ing great, in fact they are even awesome in fully stock trim. Some people can drive them, some people can even drive them really well, and some people just don't have a clue, and it's the latter group that like to say this, that, and everything else is wrong with the car. The problem with those cars is the asss in the driver's seat.

I 100% agree with you that its the driver. That is why i tried to say that with my driving skills i think it will help me.
I'm pretty sure the front, when lowered, does cause some weird angles on the arms and the rods... that is the only reason i went for the front BSK.... I just want the angles to be closer to stock than when the car is lowered.

Thanks for the reply Ali,
I'm wishing you guys the best!!!
My fear is the survey was talking huge ticket prices for Austin F1
I was at Indy every year but one, I had a driving school schedule conflict and I teach so I had to go to the school
Here are my Indy prices
$85 Sunday race ticket, 5-rows from top of Northwest Vista, this was an awesome seat, could see cars out of the pit onto the straight, Turns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
$50 General Admission, Thursday morning, all day Friday, all day Saturday
$25 Camping Lot 1A, Wednesday night to Sunday night, 5 full nights of camping, and of course that covered my parking
$160ish in total
And it was only 600-miles away so I could drive and camp
My fear is it sounds like Austin is going to be 3 times more expensive than that for just tickets
And Austin is 1,600 miles away so I would have to fly and get a hotel and pay for parking every day
I suspect I will never be able to afford it, although Indy was affordable

They may be pushing it too far and risk having it look like the Chinese Grand Prix if the prices are that high. But with limited seating (compared to Indy that has bleachers galore) they could very well get what they are asking for.

Ford is looking at suing Ferrari

^ If they go through will the Focus ST 3-door still be as desirable
