I could say that it was the first event with the sway bar on, and the car handles much different now - understeer understeer understeer. But, in reality, I did a poor job of processing the information that the car was telling me. I finally figured out the middle of the course on my last run, but then failed to compensate for the extra speed I was carrying and plowed through a cone at the end. I should have made those changes on my second or third run, not my fifth, and I'm lucky that I managed 2nd place, as I only beat Rich by a tenth or so.
I'm actually a little surprised and frustrated at how much understeer I have. I can't get the back to rotate at all. I guess I'll back off the swaybar one setting. I did have a little bit of inside tire lift once, tho, so I may be adding time in some spots as I remove it in others. Maybe I'll adjust my alignment some.
