I made 6 passes Sat night and the car is very consistant, just red. How can I slow the car's reaction time by just the amount I'm red.

Also if you are going to change out your heads next year,I may know of a set of Stage VIs... Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

Biondo makes a nice button I use on the wheel... its suppose to change .3 on the button(I dont see .3) but it works well

Maybe a combination of things like lower front tire pressure, stiffer front shock settings, less stiff rear shock settings, taller front tires, add weight to the rear of the car or ?
