"Mi casa, es su casa!" It was great to have both you and Mike out this past Saturday. You both held your own making the A Main in the SS Class.

We look forward to you guys returning as we begin the SS Point Series on Halloween Day. We'll have lots of fun, and prizes at the end of the series!

yea it was nice up there. And i will be there for the SS series but i wont make the halloween start date have a concert to go to then. but will be there the following week. Yea i just need to get the spring on my stock car to lower the ride height to stop my traction rolling. But other than that the car was handling very well. As far as shocks go do you all run the lowering springs on the stock shocks or do you like the oil filled shocks better and if so whats the part number on them

For shocks, you can use any shocks you like. I don't think anyone is using the stock friction shocks. The Tamiya 50746 work well (you'll need 2 sets). I prefer the Tamiya threaded body alloy shocks for adjustability. For springs, go with the Tamiya on-road short spring set. Most of us use blue front, and yellow in the rear.
