I used this past weekend's Waterford Hills race as my first test session for the new car.
They threw this picture on the Waterford Hills website. Just thought I'd share it. (IMG:http://www.waterfordhills.com/gallery/jgr5y0414.jpg) Learned a lot this weekend, like how some lug nuts don't fit some wheels, how I needed more front flare (notice the flare extensions) and how much I can squeeze out of my Optima before I don't get enough juice to run (no alternator). More learning to come on 11-12 Sept, but this time at Mid-Ohio. |

I looked into the track change with the rear suspension, too, and concluded it was not significant in my case.
But, you're absolutely right about the rear shocks. Personally, I believe there are serious problems with the rear shocks, unless some important modifications are made. Specifically, if one retains the rubber bushing at the lower end of the shock it puts a bending load on the shock, which eventually will ruin the shock, but certainly doesn't allow the shock absorber to do it's job.... since it's binding up. My solution (not yet implemented) is to use some Koni 28s. |
