The tar strips are hurting you because of how firm your set ups are. I've found two roads near me that I can make good steady passes. Ditches on both sides for one (single two lane) and another thats got curbs but each lane is 1.5 wide. Both have no manhole covers and little or no bumps. The narrower road is now my go to because I can see perfectly from beginning to end over a distance that I'm hoping I never need to use. The wider road is nice because it's blocked better from cross winds, but if I run to far in one direction, the road dips away and your car ends up running through an intersection. Made my best passes on this road, but had a spotter for the day the Typhon made it to 116. That narrow road will be the only place I even make attempts with the new motor, as I expect I will need more breaking area where I can still see the car if the speeds get up over 120. Yes, I'm a little frightened.I was amazed as well. I think having a wider road helps with a margin of error, but keeping the wheels down is hard for me with wind. Maybe my road really is hurting me with the tar stripes. I do have alternate roads nearby that I have been slowly trying out. Maybe it’s time to explore some more.
