The thicker sway last night seemed to free up the rear a bit. I need to try it again though, I found something broken on it after the only run with the thicker bar, which was the last of the night.

A gear diff would be nice, too, but HKS Hobby screwed me.
Adam,
Try leaning the rear shock postion on the tower down one hole, and increase the rear spring one step up. For example if you have a 2.6 - go to a 2.8.

Hope this helps.

edit: and what oil are you running (front and rear) too?

Hello Guys,

I just wanted to give you all an update and to ask a favor. I am going to be taking my second (passed the first with a 96%) of 3 tests this Saturday. Once this test is done I will have a couple of days of rest then I will be heading to Arizona for the start of the second class and study for the second Cert. After the class I will be busy studying and hope to be done before August 30th. After this I will be starting to race full time again and to get ready for IIC. My plan is to start after the 30th with going to the track every day. I will also catch up on my key membership by paying for July, August, and September to help out the club and for letting me store my stuff at the track (I want this place to stay ).

On to the favor. Could someone be so kind as to provide me the transponder number for my car so that I may sign up for IIC? I have my plane ticket and hotel all setup and ready.

BTW, Ryan or Jason do I still have a spot for my stuff for IIC?

Sorry for the big post. Thank you for your time and hope to see you all in about a month and a half.

Kind regards,
JD (Jeremy)

Yo Joe "B" ya gona make it out tomorrow for some practice? I believe Sam's going to try and make it, along with the usual "Fantastic 4", should make for one "EXCITING" day at the track

Hey Jeremy, you don't have to put in a transponder number just type in yes, they'll put you in the system at the race.

I'm going to try to make it out (no promises) .. what time you guys going to be there? Will that make us the "Fabulous 5", "Super 6" or "Spectacular 7"? We might even have enough for some racing with some shotgun starts.

Decided to do the full monte of 3 classes for IIC, no timing all around (amatuer, stock and 1/12)

Jeremy .. none of us are probably going to be bringing our hauler bags to IIC, we'll most likely try to fit the essentials into something smaller like some plastic bins.

Hanulec .. how about sending out some of those Nikita outdrives for testing on the rug? (shameless plug)

No running around the casino naked, you'll make the Colorado crew look bad.

We haven't done it in a while but we've practiced just shotgun starts for 5 mins rotating around who's in front. I'm sure everyone would like to do it again. Jim or I usually get there between 10-11am. Hope you can make it out.

The lock'n'lock containers inside a suitcase are a great way to hold your stuff. It's easy to travel with, too. Plus, your oils won't leak everywhere.
