Default Video from Saturday's OLS race.

Short video I put together from one of our Qualifying passes last Saturday. A soft tune up 4.81/158 pass.

It's not bad, I hope we can get on a radial surface, and really lean on it.

I don't understand how you get down with 0 front end travel. Some very fast people I've talked to use super slow valving and have about 4" of extension at the 60'. Than you see stuff like this with 0 travel and it doesn't make sense. In theory with 0 front end travel it doesn't even matter what shock you have up there.

The front limiters were very loose compared to when we run radials. We're trying to control the front end with the rear shock. Left the radial control arm angle in the rear (watch it separate), and kept hitting it harder in the bottom of the run. Trying to get it to 60' and be able to run down BBNOS cars.

There's only a Menscer single adjustable on the front.

Was a soft 1.24 or something like that. Ended up going 1.18 in E1, but still soft in the 60-330 area.

Yes, Menscer single adjustable fronts and Dual adjustable rears. I think they're the "big guns" but I could be wrong.

Very cool.

It seems you're working his "anti squat" theory, even with a slick. Certainly looks like it's working for you.

Thought, might as well try it.. it's only a bar change in the rear so it wouldn't take long to fix it if it wouldn't work
