Cypress,
I tried all last year trying to get a link car to work on asphalt, it didn't. I'm not a bad driver, you are talking about two of the best drivers around. No-one here likes a t-bar car on asphalt, I did have one good race though, there was so much VHT on the track the tractions was crazy and I was still being beat badly by t-bar cars. Link cars are very difficult to make work on ashpalt.
