Scott, nice detailed explanation about rollout!
Be carefull with thrust bearings guys. If they get dirty or if you set them too tight they will still be smooth but they can make you car push.

I have been racing on road on asphalt parking lots for 22 years and I only need to replace my right hub bearing once per year. I dont use anything special either...just BMI/Boca stainless bearings, steel balls (not ceramic, or tungsten), and IRS D rings sanded on 600 grit wet dry paper.

My diffs are always glass smooth, spin super free and will not slip at all.
