Ok guys, it wasn't downhill... it was about 25 degrees outside, so that helped
... I said I will try to find somewhere to do it where it is more flat so you can see better how I hold up at 70+mph instead of fighting an uphill battle (literally)... and yeah, I got some mods but don't really feel like going into them in detail- basically I unchoked the engine and did the lightweight rims and tires thing...
