Crewcheif21,73 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Mini are you plaining on running STS race on the 11th. If so just run it the way you have it now im sure it will work. Iv seen people just run stock springs hardly any camber in the right front and haul ass on the dirt and the asphault. HIs name is Bobby Smith old GB knows him.

RobbinsSr Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Right now just looking at doing the big shows on dirt. Our track did away with our class and I'm not convinced our chances of winning are real good in the TPS, it seams like the front wheel drives have the advantage there. Mainly just really frustrated that the minis are going away at most of the dirt tracks except for the big shows. The cars are out there(HOT had 29 show up last friday and more on saturday) Edited November 1, 2006 by mini9r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
