Thanks! I try to give the perspective that's more realistic for 90% of us. Tom's Telford setup is what I'm going to try. I'm running mod at the moment. I enjoy 17.5 but I'm not sure I want to build this car for it. I think in order to be competitive at the highest level I would need at the very minimum the carbon chassis and slipper eliminator. I may still do it. But my present goal is to get my car right with mod and then decide where I want to go from there.
Forgot to note that I'm working the setup out for turf at the moment....I'll tackle clay later LOL
