Here's the setup from Sunday:

DB12R (not rr)

Novak 13.5 71mm rollout
Track was open 90x48 med/high bite carpet
Front:
Spring- AE .020
2000 on kingpins
10* block shims back
3.75mm ride height
black jaco tires 1.69" 1/2 compound Paragon
flat servo
0* toe

Rear:
standard flex plates (DB12R)
7000 tubes
Center shock- red spring, 40wt
jaco gray 1.75 full paragon
4mm ride height
2.5mm pod droop
batteries middle

Parma Speed 8 lightweight body

I was thinking the pod droop might be the problem but it was also lifting the front tire off power. My first thought was to go up in the damper tubes but anytime I've tried 10,000 it was slower than with 7000. Another racer dropped to 5000 and was very pleased.

Here's a link to the full results:

Jeff, Kevin, and myself (Troy) were all running BMI in Super Stock.
