One other thing I've learned Mike.... I was given improper advise re: 16" Bogarts all the way around and slicks. By doing so, I had to give up my Brembos ... V6 brakes ARE NOT the same! Now I'll be looking to buy back my 17" front Bogart skinnies so as to use Brembos up front again.... Let me know if you know of anyone with a set of used 17" Bogart skinnies. I sold mine to the Vigoas but unfortunately they sold them! Thanks for the offer Mike. Howard is ordering Drag Radials asap.

The key with the radials will be in the suspension setup to make them work... The leaking left hand tire also didn't help last night combined with the dew that was starting to settle on the track!

Again great job handling the car.... Anyone who's thinking about stepping up to this class of racing best be prepared to handle a car like this under those conditions.

Howard
Roger that!!

George I don't know what suspension mods you have, but read this on the BMR trailing arm bushings that are causing vehicles to push under boost.
