if your going to tell him what it was like then give more info than that.. why was it that good?

I followed the hybrid car closely and did my own when the team where at it, such a good car.. worked well most places I took it.

Yea i figured i should go into more detail but im to tired. Ill make up a setup sheet tommorow. Basically it just steered more and just seemed more stable. beat a a few people ive never beaten before lol.

Thing that made me really happy was beating my friends mike and craig. So much for x6 and f2 craig

Not surprised there, sounds like your 'usualy' setup is gash - just the vla and spring change would have made a big difference. Seriously though, glad you felt the effort was worth it. Now for some MF2 hubs etc to build a 'proper' hybrid...
