Good to hear you chime in Pat; it's been just me and Dad yammering back & forth for too long...

I know. I just finished a 26 hour shift at work and was still in thinking mode when I first read this so that's probably was why I became so winded last time....

it's a good idea and I bet it works like a champ, too.

Besides, I can't let you and Dad have all the fun talking back and forth all the time. Let's just say I'm trying to keep up with the Joneses.......

No we haven't changed any shock valving we run a 4 compression on the rr with adj rebound. We usually run full width in the rear may pull it in an 1" as the track slicks off. We saw almost be tire wear there. And the car was stable from start to finish.

Also wanted to say thanks for the pat on the back. We have never been to anything like that before. We are a small budget team who does a lot with very little. We do our own stuff to try and control cost and not be limited by what you can buy. We went there in a borrowed 16" trailer that we had to pull tanks off the cars to get 2 in their. And the best part is we had a blast!, If you look on our face book page when we do development we do it right. We spend what little we have in the correct areas. We have videos of our stuff on the engine Dyno, chassis Dyno, and track testing. Our engine program is rock solid, we didn't change a thing all weekend. 180 degree water temp and 8500rpm all weekend. Same engine we ran all last year too in an 1125 pound car. Thanks for the mention!

Mike
It was a pleasure to meet you and Patrick at the Shootout, I've known who you guys from afar via posts like this. To see the professional manner you and your team go through, and how you present yourselves is a detriment to our sport.
I appreciate your openness and willingness to offer help when we were having issues.
I have become a fan of MWR
Thank you
Jeff Palazzolo

First saw this at DuQuoin POWRI pitted next to Mike and his team. I was hooked as soon as I saw it and talked to Mike. I'm more of a do it myself kind of guy so I am making one for the Sprint Car I built last year. I love when someone does something outside the box and make people start to think more. If you're not like me and a do it yourself kind get a hold of Mike great guy to talk to and I'm sure he would love to hook you up with a Mike Ladder..
