Default I'm not super discouraged anymore!!!

Just finished my race day with great results. let me break down the history of racing my cat.

Race 1-I broke everything, including the kitchen sink, on the Cat.Didn't finish the main. Got advice from lochness..clint...moss...church...jimmy and stegger. Spent loads of money at Shumacher.com.

Race 2-Broke alot less and finished the main last, but finished non the less...Spent loads more money at Shumacher.com.

Race 3-Didn't break a single part and qualified 5th in the c main and finished 6th.

I know some of you are saying big deal finish first and then you'll impress us, but thats not the point. I've never raced before and everyone here helped me get better.....THANK YOU!!!!! Now all I have to work on is to improve my driving skills.

The Cat is, as you Brits might say, spot on. Still not getting enough on throttle steering though, any ideas. I'm running the 12.5 yoke and thought of going down to the 7.5, will that help?

if i were you i would stop spending money on parts you probably dont need and consentrate on adjusting and learning about setups with what you have got, there is no one thing that will make your car or any car excelent if there was we would all have it all i sugest you do is play and take notes, the asnswer to your question 7.5 deg hubs will give less on power stearing.

Some people eat when they are emotional, I buy parts.

So how do I get more on power steering?

I am happy to hear you getting on better with the Cat!!!
When you are happy with your car your driving will improve.
As far as more on power steering, I will let much more qualified people answer, but perhaps think about a bit more brakes into a corner and let the car square up a bit more before getting on the power?
