That is a bad *** setup. Congrats. Its nice to see a 26inch tall tire hooking like that.

are the roll cage rules enforced on the track rentals?

They have their eyes on you. If you don't abuse the rules they seem to allow some wiggle room.
I suspect the tracks will get more strict over time even at rentals as they have in the past.
The mph rule is a tough one for vettes.

Nice back up runs Rob!

Sorry to hear you got "the shaft" but glad Tommy got her fixed up in a dayum hurry.

Surely wish I could've made it there. Would have been far superior to the day and weekend I had.

See you on the 5th!

The problem is that the car is so dialed in, a small change can make a drastic swing in et.
So we need to make tiny adjustments.(Something I learned throughout this experience.)
IOW The thing we change to get the 1.3x may hurt us trying to go low 9.9x, but at some point it's needs to be attempted.

Have you considered drag shocks for the front?

I have double adjustables now that give me the flexibilty to set the car up for a roadcourse, street or strip.
The only thing I dislike is that there are too many adjustments.
I believe 24 for both rebound and compression. That's one thing I haven't figure out exactly yet on this car.
