I'm not trying to cause a problem, just saying that your improvement from one week to the next may be due, in part, to other factors. If people love the avid springs that is great; I just would like a reasonable explanation as to why they would be better.

Keep in mind this is coming from someone who can barely get around a track, let alone have consistent laps.
IMO the only 2 guys who made big improvements were me and Jbone. Oddly enough, we both switched to Avid springs and Bypass1 pistons between races. The other guy was 8 seconds faster overall, and the other guy was slower and all over the place. But they're all my buddies. This was just an illustration of lap times. It seems we all get to a point where we are stuck at making gains. I'm now stuck at 21/10:00 even through a perfect race. Every week its 21/10:00 give or take a few seconds. So when I make a change and I'm consistantly running 22/10:20, then I know it was an improvement. So, as far as why, I dont know why. But they are not comming off until I feel something may be worth trying, and then it will be back to the score card.
