Shock placement
 
Ok thought I would post this before I get slammed, haha.
On the Cougar ONLY, ie NOT the Cat, the rear shocks are much better on the front of the rear shock tower.
Ok I said it, now can we just move on please???:thumbsup:

DC, How would you define "better"? I have only run my rear shocks on the rear of the tower. I was told this would make the car safer but it would not be as quick per lap. Is this your experience?

mw02veg 15-05-2010 09:27 PM

I thought you was a rear man DC

:woot::woot::woot:

It has made the car more agile without being too aggresive for a driver like me:thumbsup:

And who says I am not a rear man, I use Trish's rear end on the Cat:p

simoncrabb 16-05-2010 05:00 AM

Hi DC,

When u used your shocks on rear, did you mount wing position back as well? In accordance to the rear shock tower?

Looking forward to u coming to Torch at the end of the month:thumbsup:

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 07:30 AM

Don't you lot get fed then!!

So what's in it for Mr B if he retains it or extends it?

You make me feel better though, I've finally found someone I can beat ;-)

R666REW 17-05-2010 12:08 PM

Braging rights isn't that enough for him?? How bout if he retains it
I'll buy him a mars bar?:thumbsup:

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 12:30 PM

I'll let him answer that.

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 12:43 PM

Spoke to Mr B and he wants a good days racing with some new faces.

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 12:50 PM

Dinner will be bought for the record holder at the end of the day.

It's over a 5m run. We generally run 5m qualifying and then 7m finals. Ftd qualifying I expect

mw02veg 17-05-2010 02:43 PM

does the meal come with a beer and a desert?? :thumbsup:

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 02:48 PM

At the end of the day I thought after racing we could go and get some food and if we have a winner we'll pay for their meal.

Fairly simple :confused: and hopefully we'll have a great days racing etc.

A meal normally includes a beer doesn't it and a bit of friendly banter?

Mike, drop me an email..

mikeyscott 17-05-2010 02:58 PM

Any questions re this please PM SteveB and also maybe take it into the TORCH section?

Steve will then reply etc.

Nathan has the advantage at the mo over the other potential visitors having driven the track all be it an a very wet day in November..

Big E 17-05-2010 07:37 PM

Did someone say a free meal and beer :thumbsup::woot:
