How was the race itself Steve, close, safe driving etc ? lots of talent ?
How did it compare to your other races.

Side tone when transmitting (ie you can hear yourself talking in the headset) seems like it would greatly help , what radios offer that ?

The in car video and track comentary is in hand, so hopefully it will be similar to Road Atlanta.
Reece has his annual tech already done Robert so no need at the track.

Steve

Reece will be testing on Friday now.

Robert,

We were too low and the front was relatively easy to push down but the adjuster was very difficult to move in an upward direction, I think this was because of the torsioned spring load....

So with the springs in and the beam attached to the car we now come to the ride height adjustement.....we must check the ride height of the car then to adjust remove the turkey legs to unstress the...

Thanks for all the help guys, Father in law and Reece worked it out with some gentle persuation.


Steve

I am unsure what the sway type looks like Robert, can you give me an identifier ?

It seems to me that to get around the grub screw thats already in position you should insert the springs in a...

If anyone can offer advice on how to get the spring pack into the beam I am ready to listen. I am inserting one at a time and can see that the 3rd spring will not slide past the grub screw. If I...

We will be there on Friday for afternoon session.
Steve

We were delaying entry until Reece put on 4 LB, :D just entered......

So the fun began at Friday practice when the Jacer planted firmly into the tire wall. I could see from where I was standing that Reece was ok but the fact that he was not looking closly at the damage...
