68…Try and lower your rear ride height 1/2-1" and see if that will help before dropping the ladder bar, your shock adjustments may already be okay. In a ladder bar construction I have always used the wheelbase divided by 3, in your case it would be 39" (at 117" W.B.). Not saying that what you have won't work, it will just require a little more tuning. Keep any trunk weight as high and as far back as you can legally. I really enjoyed my weekend at SIR, met some really nice people. It was my first time out to Saskatchewan, is it ever frickin' flat!!! Got picked up in Regina and slept for 45 minutes on the way to Yorkton, woke up and the scenery was still the same. The car came from "Good Old Mr. Wilson" in South Carolina and it was our first race with it. Bought it off ClassRacer classifieds it was "totally represented as advertised" and we were very happy with our initial results. "Good Luck" with your season…MB.
