That seems kind of surprising it's that loose. You were running stock tire sizes correct? I'm sure you checked tire pressure. Definitely looks like the rear is moving a lot in that video..

I found some video from the guy following me in one of my sessions:

You can see how I take the trigger at around 2:20 yea.. the car was very very loose.

Definitely looks like the rear is moving a lot in that video..I was running 17x7.5 Volks in the front with what I though were two 245/40/17s, but one turned out to be a 235. In the rear I had two 16x8 NSX wheels with 245/??/16s on them. Not ideal.

I'm faster without it at Summit. I use it at VIR.

It was like my first taste of boost over a decade ago.. it didn't end well.

Also, does anybody know if the clubs like Porsche or Mercedes allow other cars to run in their events? I remember last year there was a Mercedes event some people did.

I ran for over a year with no rear sway bar and my lap times plateaued and I was lifting the front inside wheel off the ground in some corners so I hooked it back up and dropped from the 124's on Summit main to a 121.7. My driving style needs a rear bar but I would like to try a lighter bar than the 2001 AP1 bar I have. I have been considering trying the Miata front bar a lot of guys are using. Skip ran rear bar-less for a while too.

My preference is to run no rear bar at the auto-x & track.

It's good to see the big S2000 turnout for the Track Daze Shenandoah event. I was out of the country so I couldn't make it. Hope to do the next Track Daze event though. Sounds like you guys had a great time.

I am running 800/700 so I'll definitely try it. Apparently the fast guys do sometimes run no rear bar on the track and I just wasn't paying attention
