A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

It's nice to have a vendor not up sell you what you don't need.

Hopefully they make this turd leave. I want 1.3 60' next year.

Might need a kidney belt too!

I'll need to invest in some k-member crash bars and front end limiters if it goes 1.3's - all I'll be seeing is sky.

Any improvement would be nice at this point :)

They worked - the settings MWC gave me were good.

car went consistent 11.3x@122 most of the day. Track prep was bad.

Need to order viking front shocks for next year. The qa1 singles don't cut it out front.

Brad - they are double adjustable.

Jeremy, I saw Bison post to one of the TIA guys that the front end was coming down too fast and it was unloading the back tires. So...the front end needs to come up as quick as possible...and then lower gradually to keep good weight transfer to the rear tires.
