Wow.... either the car or the driver is scary loose! Going through 8 and 9 is way out of control!!! I think you might want to check all your steering components. Gotta keep in mind to stay away from the silver Sentra while on track.

@Starstripes00 The oversteer was the result of a slight tire miscalculation prior to the race. I shouldn't have put the really old tires on the back at that track...it works at Buttonwillow and Fontana, but apparently it's dangerous to do at Willow Springs.

That was a great save in Turn One. I was right behind you when you did that. You car got really loose and really sideways but you did a great job of controlling it and keeping it smooth and tucking the rear end back in without any snaps nor scrubbing more speed than necessary.

The save going into Nine looked good, too.

@AlvakaNet Thanks...I only wish I didn't have to spend the entire race trying not to spin. I've never had a FWD car that wanted to oversteer before.

I agree, something needs looking at. You seem to manage very well but the car is letting you down.

I dont recall the Sentra oversteering that much when I raced it last season. You should double check that the nut behind the wheel is not loose.
