Boss at Texas World Speedway, 1st time out

First time out in the boss (2013), bone stock except for brake fluid. I wasn't used to the rear end skipping over bumps under power, never driven a car with a solid rear, that feeling was kind of strange, couldn't absorb up the bumps like an indy rear suspension. Coolant never got hot, but oil got to almost the yellow mark on the stock gauge, temp was 95. Need another oil cooler for hot weather.

Was about 9 seconds off my M3 pace, but that car is not stock.

5 on front and rear.

I would try to lower your rear shock setting a number or 2. I usually run my rear shocks at 3 although most run higher. TWS is a fairly rough track so soft up the rear a little and it would have soaked up the bumps a little better. I was just there in April and didn't have any problems.

Just give it a try!
