Leo,

The car was a 2.3L Duratec with a Mazda Block, F2 Head and a Coilover conversion, with RA-1 205/40x17. So, it's pretty much gone for SF. He ran it in PTE, but I don't know how it fell into PTE with the Engine Swap and the Mazda Block.

He was having problems with tune on Saturday and reflashed back to a stock tune Sunday. It ran okay with the stock tune.

But, like what Brad said it was his first race and we clocked him a good 10+ mph slower in turn 9 then Ryan was with the Radar Gun. So, I think he was having problems with handling as well.

Ryan's car ran great. I think we have a good handle on the R888s now and the new springs helped a lot. There was a lot less roll in the car which helped Ryan a lot. But, like Ryan said... I think we have a better setup.
