First Auto X in the valiant.

First auto x is over and it was a lot of fun. Even in the 40 degree weather and down pour. Car handled great and first run was a 60 seconds final run was 48 seconds . Fastest time of the day was a pretty gnarly Mitsu EVO at 43 seconds . All and all i was very happy with my setup. i was definitely wishing i had Power steering. I may be switching over to PS and a steering quicken-er. The car was very neutral but i may tighten up the rear Sway for a little over steer. Hey Steve have you put your car on scales recently? whats your weight/distribution?

It was weighed at Hotchkis with digital scales. But that was before my new motor and the Hotchkis TVS. So that was with cast iron: heads, intake, exhaust manifold, water pump, brass radiator.

So with the heavy motor, etc it was 3418 lbs.
