I can only speak for myself, but you posts are very detailed and helpful to anyone who's new to the class (I read a lot more than I post. This will be the fourth 1000+ page thread on this forum I've read every post). So, from me at least, thank you.

But I do have a question. I have seen you write (multiple times):

I was fortunate to pit back to back with Mark Brown at the TCS qualifier at TQ, and he was kind enough to speak with me about his car for about twenty minutes between rounds. Mark's car was the most dominant of any car in any class there, and he was running a gear diff packed with AW. He documents how he builds it on his webpage (which I'm certain you've seen), but I know 1) that's only for carpet and 2) he runs a ball diff outdoors.

So my question is - why do you say that?
