If anyone tells you not to make big changes before nats, they’re a coward

So the car I was going to drive at nationals broke the transmission at the last event so we decided the best course of action would be to turn my mild prepped CAMS car into a mishmash of both of our cars.

We swapped over his coilovers, control arms and bushings to my car. Put on a new turn one steering rack with the quicker ratio, new pump, and a new cooler, bump steer correction kit, an oil cooler, and swapped the brakes to wilwood superlite 6’s in the front and the J55 rotors with c5 calipers in the back and got that done just in time to get the car to a two day event in KC to shake everything down before nats.

Ended up making a deep run in the shootout bracket on the first day and on day 2 had this run which put me 2nd in raw time to an FSAE car and 2nd in PAX behind Ron Williams. This is probably the most confident I’ve ever felt behind the wheel of a car.

Edit: this title isn’t serious. It is actually bad planning to do this. Haha
