Yes Cody was mentioning to Erik that i have upgraded my front swaybar and Erik apparently not having ever read the rule book, thought it was illegal in Stock class and wanted to protest me. some how Peggy Jones was the person who ended up asking me about my sway bars. And at first I thought (but said nothing of it ) that Randy had noticed how i went form almost 2 seconds behind (events 10 & 11) to this past weekend.

So i brought up that my sway bar was actually Bolted on properly unlike the last 2 events where (unknowingly to me) one of the end link Nuts had back almost 100% off. which lead to lots of clunking and was a small factor in my poor times.

She must have read my body language, Or is just used to people blaming Randy and mentioned it wasn't Randy who was currious, but someone really wanted to protest me, so i quickly listed off my Mods. Mud Flaps, Cat Back exhuast, Whiteline 27-29 swaybar set to 27, Motul 600 brake fluid, EBC Yellow brake pads and 255/40/17 Azenis 615's on stock rims. I noted that my rear sway bar is indeed stock and that i would even drive up on Ramps so that anyone who wanted a peek would have an easier time looking at it. (as she mentioned my swaybar being the issue)

Some runs i DO play with my DCCD. (Run No Points) Realizing that it won't make me faster, but it Does increase my enjoyment that i get for my runs, that i paid for. I also think that driving on street tires with the DCCD open makes my car a little squirmy on exit, Which might help me in learning car control skills. (teaches me throttle oversteer recovery techniques, and it gives real life proof to Dean and everyone else who says if you touch your DCCD your times will suffer, and gives everyone some extra fuel to poke fun at me with ) and as long as i'm paying for my runs, and i'm following all of the rules, shouldn't i be able to Put it on a manual setting? If anyone here wants to pay for my runs i'll drive the course exactly how you want me to (as long as you don't ask me to violate any rules)

On a Side note, I was thinking of coloring in a magnetic strip that looked like the DCCD display in the dash with something like "DCCD Set to Spaz" based on a Joke MikeK made towards me over a month ago at the flowing tide, but I felt it would probably be lost to everyone, and chances are he wouldn't remember it either...
