Is he running a light spring rate in the car due to regulations or something? Kevin you have your car at the track? Nope, the best we can guess (without a teardown) is that the front shocks don't have any oil left in them..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) . When he pitted after the first outing, I told him "We need to talk about shocks", He said "What about them". I said "We need to get some and put them on the car"...... We cranked them up on "kill" and it made no difference at all. I really think all 4 shocks are completely wasted. I used to live in the same town (well, close by) him, now he's in Georgia and I'm in Ohio, so I can't fix things in advance anymore. My car was in the pits, I didn't drive it on track any. I need to change front hubs (stuck in the spindles) and rear wheel bearings and it needs rear pads soon. So, it wasn't track ready by a long shot. No point breaking anything expensive. But it was in the pits right down from the trailer, had a huge frrax.com sticker on the top of the back window.

Is anyone here going to be there? And/or, is anyone here bored and interested in helping out? If you've ever wondered what a race weekend is like, here's your chance. I expect to roll in late Friday night and head home on Sunday evening. What happens in between is usually the stuff of legends, rumors and tales that nobody believes anyway.....
