I tried Green Hybrids, AKA Impacts, and M3 holeshots but since track time was limited and conditions were drastically different each attempt, it was tough to say one was better than the other. I think Flipouts, 3D's, Tasers, etc will all work. You just have to stay on top of it because the track is totally different in the morning, noon, and evening
Are they putting sugar down to keep the grip up? I remember last time I raced there I smoked a set of rear tires every round. it was like running on sand paper. Grip was super

Correct. flat top and bottom but with precise holes and tighter fit to shock bodies.

The shock stand-offs are DIALED!

Can anyone verify that the AVID upper shock cap bushings for the standoffs will work with the lunsford shock mounts? Im just looking for something other then the rtr bushing. Im assuming they will but i forgot to order some with my last order from them.

The delrin portion is machined to work with the aluminum portion of the standoff. It could work if you use a spacer. The hole size fits tightly to the 4-40 screw and anything larger would not work.

I have decided to go back to the full pack. The shorty is just too twitch for my track racing outdoors. I like the feel of the full pack better, but then again, i am racing 13.5, so less of an issue as 17.5

I am undecided. I keep switching between the two. So far I like shorty forward. It turns the best on my track but then the full stick seems to soak up the bumps and jumps better. Sometimes the full stick seems to over rotate through the turns when its a little dusty.

they didn't do anything except blow the track off a few times. Typically they don't put anything except coke syrup down and that is only on the trophy races. Rest of the year they just do old school water and sweep / leaf blower. Gotta remember, they aren't used to having any 10th scale turnout on a regular basis... that is changing this year though

When i do check it, its very quick blurps with the throttle and as long as it lifts about 2 inches im happy with the setting. I do not hold the throttle on and overheat it and if i did it would go higher then 2 inches with how they work.
I have also had good luck with my triad. I have a few locals tell me they burn them up. I assume it was poorly adjusted and over heated the pads due to friction and heat. Some people can break anything, lol.
