Fascinating, Captain.

Who started this section and where are they now? Or is it sort of free-form? If the founders sheparded it along, then it might grow in the direction they wished. Or maybe this is the direction wished, and then the question is should it be sheparded another way. If there are no founders per se, then those who wanted or still want this forum need to take the bull by the horns (tactfully).

With all due respect to the good intentions, this section seemed to lack clear purpose from the beginning. The title "Corners are Best" is of no assistance in this matter. It smacks of superiority, and yet of what? Is it actually the "Suspension, Brakes, Steering, Handling, and Chassis Tech" section, or is it a performance handling and handling improvement section, or a place to talk all non-straight line racing?

My two cents is that this section should be all handling related modifications and carry an attractive name like "Curves". Included should be everything from best factory setups to custom built, from street use to competition only.

This section can not be like the Unlawful Race Only for two reasons. First, those involved in non-straight line competion already have a number of other venues for discussion, if and when they so chose to do so. Second, there are many types of non-straight line activities so participation in a Moparts forum isn't going to generate much activity if its limited to one type.

Finally, general suspension, brakes, steering and chassis questions still belongs in General Tech. Otherwise General Tech becomes what? Electric and engine repairs and not so stock repairs and restifications. Nah. That makes no sense. Original suspension, brakes, steering and chassis discussions should be in Restoration, and those related to 1/8, 1/4, 1000' and 1 mile races still should post under Race Only. Yes there will be cross-over, especially with street cars that are driven for fun in variety of sanctioned activities. That aspect has already been well handled (get it?).
