Haven't seen an FL5 registered for an event yet. Would like to see one in person which is an odd thing to say because the engineers around here always have the latest and greatest.

I am curious, is it twitchy out on course?

Looks like we're going to find out just how quick the Elantra N next weekend.

Didn't he try the Veloster N as well?

I think Alex tried the Veloster, I don't know about Mark.

I'm not sure if Mark's tried the Veloster, but considering he purchased this Elentra N I would expect him to try it for some time.

First time I've seen anything Korean manufactured do well in a class.

Was very suprising to read about this type of recall.

Well looks like the FK8 is a better car than the FL5!

Joking aside (@apexit53 is still dialing in the setup), I do think it's closer than many expected.

hah yeah dialing... or selling

We ran first heat each morning so fist two runs each day it felt we were cleaning the course off and DS ran next heat. perfect conditions both days for both classes. I kinda hope at nats BS and DS run at the exact same time so its a true test .

I think I am taking off the 295s and going down to the 275. car feels too damn numb and unpredictable. that said it also feels heavy. I think I need to get an exhaust on it to help that turbo spool faster but I also don't feel like putting more money into it right now lol

Your car also seemed to bounce a lot. I was working sound so I couldn't take video of it(also it is forbidden anyhow).

It was so quiet! Below 72dB for sure!
