I'm going to get one of those droop gauges, probably Integy. We have the same issue with offroad when we try to compare. It's common to measure the shock length for droop but there's no way to compensate for the shock locations.
I'm still waiting for the track to open. I'm very interested to see how it compares to VRC which has basically been my only onroad experience.
