I was chasing my group all day as well; and found out at the end that I had my friggin headlights on the entire day. ROTFL. Hey, but you drove to the event, stayed rubber side down, learned something, and had a blast...right? That's what matters.
I learned I need more seat time, less boost, more front sway bar, rear bushings, and a watts link.
Hot tip; if you want the duct tape on the head lights to stick *real good*, leave the headlights on all day.
It took at least an hour to get that crap off the lights.
