Ag. Racing
Who was driving then?
Daniel I forgot what springs you were using but if you go off the ft to rear weight then the rear shocks should be roughly 2/3s' of what the fts are set at.Stan

Riding with an instructor helps a lot, especially if you ride with them driving while they verbalize what they're doing.
agricultural racing... ooops.

It wasn't me doing the ag. racing. But, I still hope to be able to drive as good as her someday, even if it includes spinning of the course every now and then. Stan, remember how our spin was? We came out of turn 2 just a bit too hot and my weight in the truck was just enough to upset the truck. The spin(s) didn't happen "out of the blue." We travelled almost from where we drifted out of turn 2 to the turn-in at turn 3 trying to recover, and then the spins were inevitable.
The spin with Lori was totally different. We were headed into a turn in 4th gear (older Corvette) and she downshifted into 3rd. When she popped the clutch, our world started spinning instantly - Woohooooo!!!!!!! After it stopped, she said "I think I grabbed 1st - woops..." The tranny survived.

Dan, please give me a shout next time you are auto-X's at Giant Stadium. Heck, I don't know a frigg'n thing about it, but am more than willing to burn rubber, heat up my brakes, and try out this NEW Auto-X's program on my 4-way chip
