We run a bladed-adjustable sway bar for ease of tuning on the car to make sure setup is good as quickly as possible. This means that we have 5 positions of adjustment per static blade position, and we can adjust the blade to 4 different static positions. This gives us a great range of adjustment without physically having to change the sway bar underneath the car for a different unit. We are not allowed to adjust them inside as driver controls so the adjustments are simply in the trunk and under the hood for the crew members to make adjustments on the fly while in the pits. The rules do not permit this. It would certainly be nice to do though! Quote:

Does the cool shirt have quick releases if you have to get out of the car fast? I'll pm you on the foil.
Wasn't sure if it was already asked, but what do you have to way for the class? Do you start out with a BiW?

I do have a question to you Joey;
The rules says you need to use the OEM Airbox but I notice you removed the intake duct part, can you change the Air filter too? if so , which brand are you using? Thanks

Shop visit
While in the Tidewater area of VA over a long weekend, we stopped by Mitchum's new shop that they are in the process of remodeling. The place is huge. Here are some pics.
The brand new 62 car Joey has been posting info on. Notice the top name on the window. That's right, Jeff Bucknum is back with Mitchum, at least for Indy tomorrow. Some customer cars they work on in the back section This is all that's left of 'Angelina'. She's the one that rolled in qualifying at the Glen. She'll likely be sent back to Riley for rebuild. The prep area for the GS & ST cars. Thanks to Trevor and Chris for showing us around. Good luck at Indy, guys

Love this thread. I'm amazed at how much your crew can do in such a short time. What rims and tires are you using?

Good luck at Indy! So great to see the pics of your shop and cars. I really wish I could make it to the race.

Are you guys going to be racing this season? I missed the Daytona race but hope to catch a replay on SPEED. A friend of mine and I are planning to be at the Grand-AM/Porsche 250 at Barber Motorports Park in April. It would be cool to see you guys there.

Same for the 62? Noticed it wasn't at Daytona.

The #62 was actually sold during the offseason. Even though it's no longer the #62, it lives on in pro racing and will be touring around this year at racetracks across the country!

Glad it found a new home then. When I hit the Mega Millions I'm gonna buy Chris 2 new Camaros and sponsor you guys (Mitchum, that is. not Rousch, LOL).
See you at Watkins Glen in June!
