Sorry don't mean to answer for Scott.........but pic looks like ATR Bar, a little more air in pass-side bag would do wonders

Dave your rollin over a tad to much, minor tweak there i'm sure.

Looks like Bob S. has got his dialed ok

The twist came about with the new engine. It is the same ATR bar that worked well for fairly level launches with the last motor. I was getting the twist Friday with the air bags at 10/15. I changed it to 10/25 for Sunday...it didn't help too much.

Dave - Why did you switch from the HR anti-sway bar? I thought you were their poster-child.

Joe - I was afraid to turn up the air bag pressure further for fear of binding up the suspension.

"Yeah well that was the only thing that I had in my posession. My .15 light to his .39 plus our sixty foot times show that I was ahead for about 75 feet. The next 1,245 feet were all Dave."

Scott, I know how you feel. I had a .024 to a .255 against Scott C. and still got my a$$ handed to me. I did hold him off a good 1/2 track or so. I cut it about as close as you can get it just happend that he had a decent bulb too.

No Ted thats an example of a Back Flip!

Dave's first pic in this thread shows pass-rear side rolled almost on tire? Or is just the angle of the pic?

Bob S. Pic looks like what is desired.

Damn, I'm bumming. With the track hooking like it did I would have had that 9 sec pass. Now by the time I get my motor back together Mean Scott will have beat me to the 9's.
Scott if you want to put that Compition Engineering bar in your car I have plenty of free time now, that is till my motor is done.

Both sides are rolled on the tire, time to tighten the shocks!

Don't want to put words in Dave (Bamford's) mouth, but he had a prototype setup from us way back in the beginning. If I remember right, it was not too easy to adjust the way it was made up. We did another one early on that had NO rod ends or adj at all, so we could sort out some other things on another persons car.

I remember we were backed up on production too, and couldn't get things sorted out with Dave at the time. He went to the wolfe stuff to have full adjustability, and a more "race-only" solid setup. We didn't offer adj lowers then either, and basically still don't. Our stuff wasn't really an all-out race setup back then. There ARE some VERY interesting prototypes of ours out there right now We finally saw a performance ceiling on our current control arms (mid 8's) even with our Delrin upgrade. Seeing heavy cars being pushed into the 8's and faster, we are stepping up our program to match it. Look for a couple this year knocking on the 7's !!! That's all I'm gonna say about that Will have proto's at BG in our booth & on a couple cars. Dave does AWESOME stuff with his cars, we simply couldn't provide the right parts at that time. No hard feelings or anything crazy like that. Dave can chime in here, but that's kinda the way I remember it. LOT'S happened since then

Maybe we can get Dave to try a set of our new lowers and/or suspension pkg when we get them going, and maybe get some 1.2's out of it It's in the tuneup and converter too, and Dave has it running perfect all the way around! I keep thinking of my 1.40 and low 1.4's WAY back going a much slower 10.70 range. That was long before our swaybar which would have helped a ton, and at a track nothing even close to Norwalk. Oh what a feelin!

Congrats to Dave & other winners! The track was a bite'n & the air was a chill'n. Explains a lot of great ET's and a few broken parts. That's Ohio in the spring & in the fall
