[Go Fast]

Ok, they said you run .25 less bar than normal with this thing and 30# less rebound on the LR.

When they tested this they started with it hooked up and the changes made. Then they unhooked it and were slower. When they unhooked it did they put the heavier bar and shock rebound back in? If not then heck yeah they would be slower cause the car is too soft for what the driver is used to. The test was ran backwards in my opinion.

I am sure this thing works once you get used to it. If it didn't we wouldn't be talking about it.

I'm to the point where I believe you should be allowed one bar, one arm, one stop and one shock per corner of the car and "nothing" cockpit adjustable.

This is funny! You are still reading this, I thought that you said it didn't belong here and you don't like it. But here you are still reading it. This post being here is all about free enterprise the American way.

If you are racing to win on every race night then a $900 part to give you a 4 tenths of a sec. gain should be well worth it. I to think that there should not be any cockpit adjustments. But they are here, embrace tham or eat some dust! Conform while you can if not then you fall behind the learning curve. I had a limited amount of races in 2006-2008, this year I raced with relative newcomers to Sprint cars. In my mind I learned from them as much as they learned from me. There is so much changing n our sport with the suspensions from year to year. So you must stay on the cutting edge of technology or you will fall behind.

I am a fan of Drinans work, but hmmmmmm...............

P.S.- the best thing for sprint car racing is to live by the motto, "Keep it simple, stupid.".


I think the idea of KISS ("Keep it simple, stupid.") is dead on on here. One bar, one shock, no cockpit adjustments is the way sprintcars should be. Look at what technology has done to other forms of autoracing. It's a sprintcar, let's keep it what it is and quit adding costs to run one. Set it up and drive the damn thing. You get what you get when you leave the pits.

I thought that this product helped with the setup as the race progressed, I did not know that it helped a car that much during a two lap qualifying run. Very impressive tool.
