Cab it was only 1.051. I struggle on well prepped tracks to get wheelspeed. We needed a bit more extension valving and a tad less air. First hot for me is always a crap shoot at best. My 60's are better on less stellar surfaces where we can build some wheelspeed.

I have seen tires do that also shruggy

Cab its simply a LACK of power for me on a killer surface. I can change the 4 link to be a tad less aggressive to but "Shake" is only an issue when I run at divisional events. Usually we can stiffen it up enough and drop the bars and air pressure enough to overcome it. But like I said first hit is always a crap shoot. Its simply a matter of a lack of wheelspeed when the track is really good, can see it in the racepak and on video. On typical bracket prep, or the "no prep" local stuff we have the car very very loose and it works great 1.04 flat is typical in crap air for me in those conditions.

I will be here for the spring fling for sure. Not sure what ill be racing if anything but either way ill be there. We do have a long skinny car too that's quicker than the door car and a better tool for that kind of racing.

You and Al are giving me thoughts about naming my S/P door car "Rail Killer" devil
I know, talks cheap so I'll have beat another dozen of them before putting that name on my car whistling stirthepot grin
It is cold outside up here in central OR hence to much keyboard time grin
