| Re: Race Report Phillip Island 16,17 and 18th May 2008 Yes Jac Mac is absolutely right Dalton, I'm only just getting started. It's been a long journey sorting this car's handling out, mostly because of my desire to do it myself with help and advice from Jac Mac and others.I have to prove to myself the benefits of a change and with my limited funds not allowing much testing, I have had to use race meetings as test sessions. At least now after many wrong turns I am travelling in a positive direction.I could have got a hot shot driver to tell me what is wrong with the car's handling but I would have learned nothing. So it's a lonely road however the rewards are high.There is nothing better than to make a change and then drive the car to prove that it works. I believe in the philosophy that you are always learning and when I look back to the start of this project I realize I knew very little about suspension and handling, from a technical point of view and as a driver.I have made some wonderful friendships during my time with this car, quite a few on this site and I value them highly. Needless to say most of my spare time and money are soaked up working on this project but I wouldn't have it any other way.
