First you mean to tell me, you actually took the drive line apart and put it all back together and got the same track conditions is silly.. and if you did.. What clicked to tell you man, the shocks are perfect, the wheel spacing is perfect and all the other adjustments were perfect so damn the spring in the U joint must be the problem???? NOW, maybe you should go to cup bro.. Not trying to ruffle feathers but Scott got it right on the head..

Well, let me see here. We ran 12 shows with the stiff spring in and the drive shaft was cut to the proper length. The car would never work once the track slicked off. We tried our standard adjustments and many other things to try and get the thing to hook up. We checked the drive line for length again and while doing so replaced the stiff spring with a softer one. Just stiff enough to keep the drive shaft pushed back into the rear coupler. After that switch the car would work on heavy or dry slick tracks and our standard adjustments actually made a difference.
If you think the stiff spring wasn't the problem then more power to you. I believe it did make the difference and will never run the stiff spring again.
BTW, Scott and I are good friends and have talked about this at great length.
