You know how you buy a new Bad ass flowed carburator, bolt it on, and it runs like crap? Well it's really not the carbs fault, the rest of the motor just isn't up to the task. Thats how last night went. The new shock/panhard set up feels great. In both corner entry and exit, the rear is stable and connected. Thats good, sort of. The other thing is, you can throttle-steer a car thats 'loose' (rear slides around) but if you car/truck is tight, or pushes, you have to over brake. And thats where were at. Having the rear work is now causing a push, and we thought it would, and so we slowed our lap times to a 56.19 yes, we lost a second. Micheal mobley was our test pilot, and we also had 2 very experienced drivers take it out. All had the same experience. Tire temps show that the front is suffering, and with the rear hooked up, its just worse over all. You have to brake so much to get it to turn that you scrub off too much speed. Over all this is OK, and we kind of expected it. We stil have no sway bars, and old front shocks. So we go there next.
