Joe - I was running 34/69 (so pretty much the same FDR) with the Trinity D3.5 and having no problems provided I went at least 2/3 of the way out from the apex and carried some speed into the turn.
That said, I was double - singling the triple with my stadium truck with an Orion 17.5 cutting the apex pretty tight on the pipe and was able to hold nearly the same pace as my "cheater 17.5" buggy.
Don't get too caught up with clearing the triple. One bad jump that requires a marshall will wipe out any gains from clearing it the other 19 laps . Double - single the darn thing until you get the rest of the track nailed down.
Ok, so i've had my Yoda moment for the week. Now someone get me a beer
