Notes-Only got a few runs in with this car in June. It usually doesn't need much tuning, but the hop seemed to be worse than normal, so I decided to work on the handling a bit. I first discovered that the motor was part of the problem (not my first guess), because it was pretty dirty and was sputtering a little, so I sprayed it out well and relubed the bushings. I then tried different t-plates and springs, and ended up going softer all around, plus added some 15k grease to kingpins to reduce hop (had previously dampened top shock for same purpose). This all helped with the hop. It also helped improve my total time by 30 seconds from my first June run, and beat my May time by almost 5 seconds.
