I will be there since heck I live in the AV and we get up early Mon-Fri why not prolong my agaony a little and getup before the crows and drive an hour and half down there and sign up and go pass out in my exploder. At least this first race is the furthest from me.

Oh yea got a little help about the track frustrations yesterday....One being that the track had a nice film of dust from the guys practicing for offroad racign last night.
That might explain the lack of traction and over rotation....LOL

Just remember, if you need setup help, just drop by my pit and I'll take a look at what you can change..

Where do you normaly sit.
I will be the 6'2" FAT MAN driving the either mirror crome stratus or green and blue 6. I sit where ever the PRO's don't sit. I think I will try to get near the wall and toward the rear of the building as it seems to get less trafic...Last time I raced I had people running in and out between the tables...kind of distrating....LOL
Just come up and kick me, I can not run fast...FAT MAN remeber...

dude, your tellin me!!!!

that's why I'm givin myself 4 hours 'cause I'll have to me watchin' myself right before I get to Victorville.........I got 2 in the same area (right around the dale Evans Parkway on/off ramp) when we raced @ Scotty's track a couple of weeks ago.....

anyways, I hope to get there early enough (before 6am-"and the rush") to get a couple of spots for me an my buddy "by the wall as well"....

do you all plan on runnin a one way?????? or did ya'll find a decent set up with a "diff" 'cause I wanted to build a diff for this weekend, but everyone (I mean EVERYONE) is out of Yok-diff Rings........(I have everything else, darn-it!)

That's how I measure mine as well. Currently I have 6 in the front and 5 in the rear. After this weekend I'll post anything if it changed.

I'm running AE 40wt oil f/r. The car transitions well from the banking with the rear shocks 1 hole in from the outside, and the front shocks all the way in on the tower, stock locations on arms. I havent felt the need to try any different spring combos, the car is really dialed right now.
