Ok guys heres the setup sheet. Its from Schreffs car. The only think I'm not 100% on is the shock oil but I think thats what he had in there. He'll confirm tomorrow when he gets up.
In 13.5 our cars were very very good. The layout was tight and the traction was not the normal jack traction we were used to. The cars had a strange push slide type thing going on from the Stinky Fingers traction compound that was used.
It seemed as if the 3rd round was the fastest round for 13.5 top 3 was set in that round. I probably would of qualified 2nd but got into some backmarker/traffic on the last lap that caused me to have a long last lap. It happens but I got peeled from behind on the 1st lap of the main and got stuck on the boards and broke a blade trying to get my car free. It made the car a handful in the main.
Schreff deserves congrats, he drove awesome all weekend. This is the first of many wins I think for Top in the near future. So far the last 2 races we have both qualified in the top 3 both times and have a 2nd place and a win in 13.5, not too bad.
I'm interested to try this setup this weekend at our track, I think it may not work good since we use jack which has a lot less initial slip than Sticky Fingers.
In mod I drove horrible, my car wasn't bad at all for the first time attempting mod I just didn't have a clean run. We ran 10.5s in mod and our cars were as fast if not faster than basically anything out there.
Post questions if anyone has any about the setup.
Make sure your shock o rings and plastic pieces that go in the bottom seal are free when assembled.

Jason and Larry, Great job at the Birds! Way to bring it home for TOP and Tekin. I'm sure it'll make parts even harder to get
A friend of mine, Big Features, told me you guys go by Schreftrace
OD - Looks like you'll be busy sellin' more kits/parts

I have a feeling you'll be threatening for the win in a number of races (carpet and asphalt). I was talking to Schreff what he'll run at the Reedy. Both you and I have won 13.5, so we'll run mod. Schreff hasn't graduated yet so he'll be in 13.5! Going to be fun to ragging on him that week.

Thanks for posting the setup Larry. Only 1 small change to make though. I ran 35wt oil in the rear shocks. Other than that, everything looks good. And don't be putting a pack in to drive my stuff around your basement floor.
Thanks everybody for the props. When Larry and I go to races together... it's usually not good for the competition.

And I already know what's going to happen at the Nats. You're gonna sell whatever car you're racing that weekend for pennies on the dollar and leave before the mains to avoid further failure.

Congrats to Larry and Jason for the results. The car looks good and drives very well. I only wish I could have done better myself. Still, not finishing dead last in mod with no real practice going in this year was good enough I suppose.
Now I just have to see if I can convince work to send me to Reedy.

I think the last time I raced at Mimis, the going rate for an Mi2/Mi3 (don't remember) was $75. I couldn't get to my wallet faster than the guy beside me.
