A question I have is when is avid coming out with the batch 2 for the front truck big bores?
I see that they have the rears and their products are now even available at AMain (where I buy most of my stuff since it gets here in 2 days with free shipping).
Are the BB avids worth upgrading to even for a beginner i notice the stock springs i am running rub on the shock body?
also Ive been to the indoor track 3 times so far. was wondering if people had any advice as to when I should start racing...
If you are a new racer save your money for tires and practice time. Getting the right tire is 90% of the tuning battle. Should have listened to my own advice last weekend. Its never too early to start racing if there is a sportsman class available. You might feel a bit like a dork swerving from one side of the track to the other but you will be surrounded by others that are doing the same thing. You will quickly learn to control the car well enough to get around the track. From there its just more practice, practice, practice. Before you start putting money into the car you will need to be ready to know what needs to be upgraded. In order to get to that stage you need to be able to feel what's wrong with the car. Again, more practice. The springs rubbing drives me nuts too and the big bore spring upgrade is pretty cheap and easy to do. However, at this stage you aren't going to notice a huge difference by doing it. My $0.02...
