Ah, nope, still waiting on the bars, don't know if I'll see that before Nationals or not. We did however go from the 350Evo bar to the Hotchkis front bar, much improved IMO

Just curious as to why you think the hotchkis were an improvement over the evos.
I switched from hotchkis to evos and think that was an improvement (for road racing).

The Hotchkis, at least for us, seemed to be a noticable improvement on corner exit grip, we get HORRIBLE inside wheelspin on corner exit, and haze tires, the Hotchkis seemed to help keep that inside tire down a bit, as the new secret weapon will hopefully do.

I now have a pretty good idea of what it is, you'll have to tell me about the install.

Install complete.

Not a b-stock legal LSD, though that would be rather handy.

Chris,

You got the James Bond smoke screen projector from "Q" to obscure the track for competitors?

Yup, the smoke screen only weighs a few pounds, and has another benifit. Besides obscuring the view for competitors, it makes it harder for the course workers to see the cones I hit!
