Is my new car competitive?

[JamesB]

They are competitive with a well built and driving car. But Tristan is moving to an mk3 after experiencing what I warned him about before he started his move from bike to auto racing. A1 bodies are getting very hard to find.

James is right. They are still competitive, but getting hard to come by. I finally tasted the hoosier crack on Mondays race and ended up in 1st. To bad I was 3lbs. under, DOH...

I added some Shine racing goodies and it made a huge difference. There is definately no advantage on the straights, but being able to keep momentum in the turns can make up the difference. I'm going to the A3 strictly because it looks like a great platform to run and ease of locating parts. Not sure what to do with the rabbit? It's proved itself with some great finishes this season so I will probably hold on to it.

I'm gonna hit NJMP for the last one, and try and catch the air show...

Oh Parts for A1s arnt that hard to find, they find me....I have 4 sets of A1 strut tubes, and now no A2s.....(sept 8th by the way).......A1s just seam easier to work on, tranny comes out easy, no differintal pressure regulator,computer,potentomiter, to go bad..

A1s Have more motor mountsso they have to be better.....

So you're done for good with the A1, Tristan?
