Which means the PSI likes won't reflect it.

I'm really glad I don't run a Pro Solo Index class.

My next 2 mods/improvements would purchase the national winning STS car... but, its just not the same.
too me.
Im pretty sure until you have invested in CAM.. and built the whole car from the new car smell to the stinch of gear oil and fiberglass... you just wont get it.
however... if they take away fiberglass/composite body panels, I'd do something else.. prolly STS.
Definitely agree! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes the psi does really show it in index classes as I have been in them before esp went to S-3 and by far the index for esp was one of the worst when in classes with street classed cars.

I think the lower classes tend to be really soft. I know ES was silly when I ran it. While I thought the class was as deep as any, there were events where I was 6th in Class and like 14th in overall index and above people like Braun.

There are other classes like FSP that, at times, seemed hopeless to run against cars with more power. PSI just seems to be really off in places that it matters. Like SMF had it really easy for a long time.

It is either close or way off it seems.

So 200 feet shorter than our starts?

Merged with other thread with the same title. No need for multiple threads that are the same.
