Sorry if this is grainy I had to re-size it to post it. The sounds sucks because this was on Friday (test day) and they had really bad feedback through the p.a. system.
Madi98GT (Jason) is the black car in the far lane and ModMotorRacer (Adam) is the red in the closest lane. Watch how much Jason's front end bounces when he hits 2nd gear. That's his drag struts. He adjusted them and ran a little better on a stiffer setting. Adam's hardly moves at all he is going to adjust his front coil over to get some lift and weight transfer. They will have to verify the times I don't remember, I think J ran a 12.844 to Adam's 13.30 . Good race won on the tree by J, Adam is normally the one doing the "treeing". Adam ran a string of 12.90's later that day once he adjusted his shift points. J ran two 12.72's on Sunday in eliminations to set a new personal best.

Thanks Dean! Damn, my fuggin car looks like it is launching again when I hit second gear! Good call by you guys to adjust the drag struts so they were a little stiffer. Car looks a little goofy going down the track like a bouncy ball.
ModMotorRacer = OWNED. However, as we discussed, I do find it odd that I don't really pull on him at the top end of the track. I bet it's because I wasn't shifting high enough....I am sure we will get another opportunity to do that again. ccasion1 |

I think you are correct about the shifting higher. His car never ran as fast as I think it can this weekend. You both have some more left in those cars.
