Had an amazing weekend running in Street Class for Round 12 of Gridlife's 2023 Track Battle season at Streets of Willow. The class was jam packed with some strong competition ; mostly local friends, and we all had a blast. I personally wasn't looking to be competitive this weekend, I just wanted to finally dip the car into the 1:24's and we got it done.
The entire weekend was near perfect weather ; rained a little on the last day towards the end but the comp was mostly over by that time.
Car is working flawless minus a few details which will get resolved this week.
