That's what I was thinking. It's especially obvious in a torsion bar suspension where the "springs" work like the sway bar, except they're anchored and independent. In sway bars, each end is a torsion bar anchored to the opposite control arm.

Come on! It's turning out into a pretty mainstream event with close to 100 registrations. Need you out there with us pal. It just won't be the same without you (and i am not referring to all help you provide those who surround you in the paddock). Come out, and ditch a DE if you have to.

yeah, c'mon Gary. it won't be the same without you. I can't remember the last time I raced when you weren't there. I think I'm going to cry.
Besides, if you don't go who am I going to laugh with about the insane pass that Fred will put on someone by driving through paddock as a shortcut.

Guys - nothing would make me happier than to go, but you know the story.. nothing in, nothing out... I feel the same way Sean <sniffle>, but even my selling off some stuff I have to pay Julio 1st.. He dragged out the car so long it ran over into the "lean" period. Fred, DE's are $50 now but even so I won't be doing any of them for a while either. The Limerock thing was paid for a while ago and was a "family" thing, else that would have been canceled too!
My biggest regret is not having video of Fred's first off in the octopus!
Hey, maybe Dan will bring me down for support!

I think I really would be crying if I was there and not racing....but then again I could drink! That Dan Jacob's 1-2-3 has still to appear, last year at Lightning it was Sean missing (though I got NADA for 2nd!), this year at WGI it was me. You have been a constant Fred, regardless of my attendance I expect you and Sean to dominate the podium.

The resistive action is not always there or the same. Dampers most often have more high speed damping than low speed. with regard to sways body roll is low speed, hitting a gator is high speed. sorry guys please continue.

I know, I know. He has his wrench coming to the track so this thread would only muddy things up anyway. You guys are fun to read too. Beats the hell out of the con call I am on right now. You bringing the show to SP for the Oct CR?

Just razzing you Dr. Dremel. What did you expect with that question asked here? simple and concise? I will look for you guys at SP. I am hoping to have my project car on track for the DE portion for shake down and rough tuning. Just look for the slow car trailing smoke with fluids leaking out and parts falling off.
