Some tips on making real word changes and how to chassis tuning of shocks and torque arm of lca's, anti roll bar preload, tire pressure adjustment (when to add or remove air) and stuff like that.

That would be a great video to make and sell. Could do it for FWD, RWD, and AWD and would probably do pretty well. Most drag strips would carry the Vid.

Was going to say thanks for not talking to the camera in this vid but you failed me toward the end hahaha.

To the others, a lot of tracks will be really unhappy with you if you take your helmet off before you pull off the track.

Still think there needs to be a video on more of the basics like water box guy signals and all that... its more then just lining up and going.

Nice quality videos though.

They should have a 10-15 min video for all first timers at the track. It would help out so much.

I've been to the track a few times this year. I don't think I've seen the Maggie once. Do you plan on going any time soon?

Outstanding vid. I hope you have that on youtube. Let me know when you do it again. We can get a video of the fat guy yelling at me. Show the world what happens in St.Louis, when you go to fast without a cage.
