but still with any track use there's always a chance of failure on some stock parts not designed for it. so i worry sometimes since i really enjoy runnin the car. its a good time.

car has never been aligned nor have i ever had a problem with alignment.

this year i've had no wheel spin issues on the tracks even though one i dont think is well prepped lol

but i am running RE-11s this year over last year running PSS's. however last year the PSS's delivered my best time. that was also spring running vs summer running. conditions have not been too favorable this season when i've ran. typically higher humidity any night i have time to go lol it's like mother nature knows.
