[Shotimes] Rear Wheel Bearings 89

[Leigh Smith]

Slow in = fast out... and I thought it was auto-X we were talking about?
Seriously, brake hard but early, turn early, and gas early... all before the
middle /apex of the corner... preferably first third...then let it drift out
full-throttle ... if you set it up right...If you can't come out full
throttle or have to lift...that means you didn't turn early enough!
And it's great that you're having fun!!!
PS: the 89's have adjustable rear wheel bearings
