So last night I worked on the rogue B4 again, and although it was 100% better than Wednesday, it still felt too twitchy, according to Proctor, Larry and Mark....yes all three evil geniuses drove my car...
After the improvements from Wednesday and a swept track, I hit consecutive 15.9 laps....it was still loose on power everywhere, so I went with a lighter oil spring combo in the rear, and all the traction started coming back....I was hitting 15.6 laps on a dusty track and un-gripped tires...Moral of the story, tweak tweak tweak until proven happy...
I think the ticket might be to go back to my old B4 setup....

Hey Matt,
With the turnouts we've been getting on practice days, I'm surprised the track is not far worst. There's people doing Kamikazee dive jumps off the triple and landing bumper first onto the track...they already have a layout designed, its just a matter of finding the time to do it.
With a properly set up car, you can still go fast at any track....Proctot put down a 14.4 with his 4wd SC last night on a dusty and pitted track....
