    Default Brenner befuddles establishment at Thunderhill

    [FONT=Verdana]Doug Brenner gives the FF1600 world reason to take pause with his unorthodox approach to shocks and other bits on his under-horse-powered Honda Formula Ford [/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana]finishing on the podium for both of the National Formula Ford races at Thunderhill this last weekend! Nice Job Doug .[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana]Doug was the first person to adopt the SHIM type Push Rods and loves them [/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana]wanted to give a shout out to him for a GREAT weekend culminating with fastest race lap in Race 2 on the weekend !! [/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana]Doug uses our Push rods to great effect and said it was awesome to just change from rains to slicks and change the shims in less than 30 seconds to keep the ride height and cornerweights all the same! [/FONT]

    [FONT=Verdana]Great Job Doug!! [/FONT]

    Been using Doug for my shocks for the last four years, they are spectacular. My car (RF98) was diabolic, tried everyting in the book to correct the problem. I called Doug grasping for answers, after about an hour conversation, I decided to give him a try, and that was the best decision I've made. Now, I can trust the car on each and every corner and not worry if its going to understeer or snap loose. It has a total different feel, it responds well to very small changes with springs and sway bar adjustments. In addition, I don't kill the tires after two sessions. I know Doug does NOT use sway bars (he took them off). Now if I ever learn to drive, maybe I can use the car and shocks to their full potential.

    Of course a big congrats to Douglas Brenner for his result both days, but certainly equal applause for Peter Nosler....way to go Peter, and what a comeback! Really sorry we weren't there to help you guys celebrate, but hopefully will be soon. Great job all!
