Most excellent! When you finally get things where they work, it's a great feeling, enjoy!Been oval racing regularly now for about 6-8 months. Learned so so much from forums posts, YouTube, and mostly from guys at the track. Started out doing breakout and then built a late model buggy based late model 13.5. had fun with that and worked on my mudboss here and there but never got the mud oss feeling good. I had some leftover parts and decided to convert my mudboss to a super street class. Started running in the back of the pack. Finally got my straightline speed up but was still losing in the corners. After spending some time chatting with other racers and examining their cars I realized I had way too high a ride height and therefore a very high CG compared to most. We raced Thursday night and Friday I rebuilt all my shocks with different springs, shock limiters, pistons, and oil. Didn't have time to even check cber changes and went out Saturday and sent it.
I had the best laps of my life with a slash-based car. Top guys run a high 4.4-4.5 consistently and I was hitting 4.3s. unfortunately there was only one other street stock to run with and he was quite fast too. I was glued to his bumper every lap of every race but couldn't get any opportunity to pass. Had a great time, took my car home and decided to write down ally settings and man, were they... Not what I was expecting.
