Dennis,

Sounds like you're having lots of fun. I miss the speed/gforce
display that you had in an earlier video. Wish I could rig something
like that up for a ORR video.

Thumbs up

Awesome video, Dennis.... I especially like that the sound came through without too much clipping. Music to my ears...

Mark,
I valved your shocks with far greater comp adjustment range than Dennis has on his bilsteins, we used spring rate to stabilize Dennis platfrom rather than bump valving....hence, the lower spring rates.

Both of you guys need to have your shocks revalved...and Mark, you run your car at about 100mm ride height...a very good height, but the shocks need to be shortened.....good luck at Laguna!

Regards,
Marc

George-

If you miss the g-force display, just watch Dennis' key chain. Pretty entertaining stuff right there.

Hey, whatever you did, i would be reluctant to change, it works so well, and so well on SO many tracks. basically, its at 114mm front and 135mm rear. im slightly bottoming out the a-arms to the chassis, but it looks to be slight. Shocks have been, since the first few races 4 years ago, cranked down all the way, full bump and full rebound. springs seem to work well, especially for a 1:40 lap at Laguna, but at sears, i would like to have less roll through the S's of turn 7-10. swaybar is at full max, with re-enforced mounts (not quite as elaborate as Dennis's car. rear drop links are used for less roll in the rear.

with all the weight i bring to the track with all my gear, its not a bad ride on the street, and really fun on the weekends to get that quart of milk for baby Jack!

Here is a 1:50.x lap at Sears last year with Don Hanson. (if the link is working)

Hey Tom,

You going to bring the GTS out to the Pony this year? How
about your brother? It's a two-way this year, so you could
both drive in one car, or bring both cars and drive the whole
130 miles.

Hey Mark,
Thanks, I am glad they are working fine....but would it be better if they were a tick shorter and the valving had some additional dampening?

See you in a few weeks!

Marc
