As far as the OP goes, we had very few conversations, relatively speaking.

It didn't take long, at all.

Have to say no it did not take much time at all.

Mike helped my awhile back with carb stumble... Many others were giving advice that didn't work. APD wanted carb back. He told me to buy x, do this and it's worked for last two years flawless

This year we were trying to tighten up the packages. The car would be good for several rounds and then in flyer.

Mike suggested a shock, mind you I just bought a well known brand. I followed his suggestion and yes they were a pretty gold penny. Mike made nothing of the deal. Got the shocks and the car worked in the 60ft flawless. But picked up some movement on top end that normally wasn't there. By the way we had the car within .001 over 4 runs within 3 hits. Prior the car would be .007-9

Next race, sbra finals. First day go 5 rounds in both box and top. Next day go to 4th, third day go to 4th in both, and carry thru to semis. Car still slightly moving on top end.

Mike suggests a carb tweak, timing, and I find a small issue that is corrected.

Next day everyone is struggling nighttime. Mine is printing slips. Those that race with me are moving 2-3 numbers run to run. These guys are dead on.

Unfortunately I went took myself out with a slight red light.

But props to Mike and his assistance. Mike I'll be your willing victim anytime.

Now ya just gotta settle in, and get used to knowing what you can run, if you want.

The driveshaft graph looks exactly how I'd imagine it should a year ago, according to how you described the 4 link setup on the car, at that time.

Easy on the tire now.

Agree. Makes it easy then. Especially when track was less than stellar and it repeats like that.

Going from it moving 4-5-6 hundredths, to this.

It's only a matter of time.

Do you put on a dress and high heels before taking it without a peep, from nobody track officials?

You're like a democrat in heat, hunting browny points.

Never trust a junky drunk on favors.

But just think, you keep it up, they might send ya a jacket free with their name on it, dork.

Mike , you really need to start laughing about the cone deal at this point. The bones are dust.

The resident know it all troll jumped at the chum like a jackal feeding on someone else's kill. So easy and predictable. The laughs never stop.
