Its a zink z19. It's my car. It was underweight to begin with, so I stashed
30lbs of ballast near the front. For the next auto I'm lowering the front a
bit and corner weighting it. With me in the car is damn close to 50/50 so I
should handle better. plus I'm not sure how old the rear pucks are anyway.
I'll be rebuilding the whole car the end of the season. Not to mention when
phil drove the car it was pretty wet.
