It was 10* warmer and the DA was 1000' higher. I hope that is what slowed it down. The pics from this weekend are here.http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2009/06-13-MokanAllOut/0008/imagepages/image13.html I believe this was my second run. And That this was just after the 1st pic. http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2009/06-13-MokanAllOut/0008/imagepages/image14.html And this would have been in April. http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2009/04-11-MoparsInvade/0001/imagepages/image7.html I believe it needed more air preasure this time 12.5 versus 13.5 in April. As always comments are appreciated. Jim

Jim Isn't that a lot more preload than most run? I believe it may be. It was a suggested setting made by someone else who runs them. The 1st time out with it I had an 1/8" gap. This time it carried the wheels a little higher and farther. However, the 60's were the same but the ET's were off. I think that was because the weather was different. Jim
