Re: trailing or leading arm rear suspension?
I asked this question to Al Varacins who builds the speedsport (second place car at the runoffs the last 2 years) and although he didnt get into specifics he said that the rear arm car is actually a weaker design than the front arms. Now i know this might start a whole new batch of posts , but thats...

Re: reverse lock-out
One of the best reverse lock outs i have ever seen was probably the simplest as well. If someone out there has a picture of the stock Zink C-4 lockout please post it. Its simple and works !

Re: Low turnouts
It stands to reason, most vee drivers are the un sponsored family budget plan type racers. The last 15 months for my buisness , have been the worst for me in the 20 years i have been doing it. I use my personal car for work and drive anywhere from 80 to 250 miles per day, and the gas is rediculous. ...

Re: Tire Balancing
Remember, these are estemates. I have been the 14th car in a 14 car draft at R.A. and 7000 to 74000 rpm is possible. Scary as hell as your waiting for the rods to hit you in the back of the head. I had the timing perfect, pulled out just after the kink and was 1st of the pack going into canada ........
