Longer bars have better leverage and with bars that are 70" or longer I wouldnt run the spring type... I have 62" with the spring at the back wheels...

Hmmm don't know why a Stroud is any easier to pack than a Simpson? I got the Simpson IIRC it was quite a bit cheaper? Mine has worked fine the few times I have pulled it, didn't touch the brake at all in this video till I actually came to a full stop around the corner course i was only doing 148 and Sonoma has a long shutdown and a bit uphill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla...p;v=S36VkZdDdkw

We have used three RJ Racecars wheelie bar kits and they worked great. My chutes are both Simpson PITA to pack but we rarely pull them. Never did at Sonoma or Sac and that was going 170 in the big tire car.

Don't know if you are fabbing it up yourself, if somebody else I would go talk to Mike Bolla, he is across from MEW and does great work. just mentioning him as I believe he is close to you.
BTW, did you make up your mind on a box? just wondering if you are gonna play in SP or be one of the fastest cars in Pro.
I looked for you at Sonoma... you werent there

Ok Don I will go sideways from the post topic, spent the prior week in Alabama and came home Friday with the full intention of going then mid-Saturday went for a long bike ride and here is what I came up with on that ride (read excuses!!!) 1) Why go out and race when I can get another good ride in tomorrow. 2) Besides the motor home is already winterized and right now cannot fathom the thought of towing out with the truck. (yes, it has spoiled me) 3) I know it is gonna be 11 am before the 1st car goes down the track due to the fog and that means probably one time shot, 4) New motor should be ready just before the 1st real race next year. 5) If I play hooky from racing tomorrow after my bike ride maybe the Mrs's and I can take the Harley out since I don't seem to make time for it anymore. Day went pretty good although felt way like I should be somewere else........aaarghhh Drank coffe rode my bike, went for another short bike ride with the wife then took the Mrs's for a ride on the loud bike then watched the last few rounds on 1320.com aaarghhhhh Is 2013 racing season here yet? Only bad part was Rich's text at 8am saying he would be late to the track? sorry Rich I am not there either! OK back on subject, I think you will need those aforementioned parts and remember I am the one who told you "get ready to open up that wallet to this disease!" keith
