Justdrift Round 4 Willow Speedway


Round 4 was fun but also disappointing. Practice was not going well on Friday because I was having trouble with my front wheel clearance. My front tires were rubbing up on both my front tube frame and also my rear wheel well near full lock. As a result I would spin out when I got too much angle.

I changed my front tires from soft Federal 245's to a harder compound 225. This fixed the problem completely and now I have plenty of clearance, I also did not notice a loss of grip on the front from the different compound and size.

Practice on Saturday went very well and I thought my qualifying runs were good but it turns out that they were not enough. I knew I was far from the wall but I still thought that I would qualify.
