• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

traction control

After yesterday, i wouldn't even consider disabling this feature, it was raining so hard and lightning so bad, the road had a lot of water in the tire ruts, the front tires were trying to push against the water and the back was breaking loose and would drift 3 or 4" every other second, the traction control corrected it immediately every time, hundreds of times in a 7 mile stretch, down to 30 mph in a normally 70 mph two lane road, that wide back tire hydroplanes very easily with only a couple hundred lbs. I was thinking about a little wider tire on the front, as others have said it handles more responsive, not any more, i'm sure it does on a dry road, but it would have increased my problem considerably, i will replace the rear with the best car rain tire when due. The computer nanny seems excessive most of the time, but will save you when you really need it!
 
Probably a dumb question, but -

does the traction control only work when the rear wheel slips side-to-side? Otherwise, how would people do burn-outs?
