Your welcome, no problem. Thank you guys for the opportunity to hang out with you and the very primo pit location.
As nice as the co-drive was and all, I wanna race heads up against that green car next year!
With Joe driving, you can see how the outside of the front splitter is awfully close to the concrete. Rupert Berrington Photo

We’d like to extend a hearty thank-you to Joe Gonzalez for this opportunity.
We drove a borrowed LeGrand at the Solo National Championship. Besides a mainline adrenaline buzz, this also gave us a chance to compare our car’s handling to that of another LeGrand.
Joe Gonzalez’s car is a Mk18—like ours—and still has the spool-type axle setup. This meant that the car behaved similarly to ours at the limit (read: a handful). However, it also felt a little softer in the nose—great for turn-in response, but not so great for mid-corner grip when the splitter started grinding against the Nebraska concrete.
The first day had our co-driver, Joe, just out of the trophies in seventh place. Per was learning the car and landed a mid-pack 10th. On the second day, Per figured out a few things and had the seventh-fastest time. At the end of both days, we were in ninth and tenth spots with Joe leading Per by a few tenths.
We’d like to extend a hearty, thank-you to Joe Gonzalez for this opportunity. It helped reinspire our team as we finish up this nearly unending conversion from the spool to a real differential.
