That was the Idea when I was doing Tech, I think the guys would agree I tried to be objective, fair and unbiased. There was a LOT of homework I did on the cars and that to me was the most fun and challenging part. There can be some degree of drama (as you can imagine), guys are understandably very passionate about their efforts so you got to have the right temprement for it for sure.

I had to resign the duties due to taking a job that involved a lot of International travel and that made it impossible to plan around, I'm not sure if they ever got somebody else to take it on but I'd like to do it again some time. Dave and the gang are great to hang around with, go fast and have fun, that was the name of the F.A.S.T. game as far as I was concerned.

As for Ford suspensions, I know Fords (virtually everything between the 1960 Falcon and the late 70's Fox body) have a lower control Arm Strut Rod that has a rubber biscuit pivoting bushing that attaches to the frame in order to triangulate the LCA. If you replace that with a softer bushing and/or a spherical rod end you can get a whole lot more front end travel for Drag racing. Conversely, on road race cars the trick is to stiffen the bushing in order to limit the travel and lateral roll (similar to a stiffer sway bar).
