My problem with inboard adjustments is it changes the race if there is a caution or red. I've seen many times Joe Local go out and run well and hold their own, Here comes a yellow and then They're lucky if they finish on the same lap.

Yeah, i know, Get with the program, There available to everyone but my idea of dirt sprint car racing isn't a on board pit crew. Your crew could adjust under a red same as a mechanic could change a bar or torsion stop setting.

Certainly I can agree to the adjustable shocks replacing several different ones but, Why do people like Schatz win without them? Because they setup for the middle to end of the race. In the first place.
