The car that won HS at nationals for the last couple
of years has been 89-91 Civic Si. It has about the
same power to weight ratio a our cars. It has a couple
of advantages over us. First, the wheels & usable tire
sizes are the same but the weight is about 300lbs
less. Second, I believe the car cam with a anti-roll
bar on the rear as well as the front and they don't
roll as much as ours.
The Focus has been around long enough that some
nationally compeitive driver may have developed one.
After taking a ride with Stan on Sunday, I don't think
anything can touch the MINI in HS.

If you are going to do that, I would suggest sweet
talking Don Ebaugh into giving you the part numbers
and settings for his suspension. I don't know if the
they would be as effective in the Del Sol "flex-a-lot"
chassis.
