if I soften the front end compression any less, the front end bounce gets progressively worse. I may need to make an adjustment to the anti-roll a little more, or possible stagger the wheelie bar wheels. The car has been pulling to the right recently. I just found the rod ends on the anti-roll links worn out with .050" of play in the rod end ball insert. I replace those rod ends and reset the preload to neutral with ballast equal to my weight in the driver seat.
I'd prefer to not have the car come up much higher. Its been pulling higher for the last two seasons and to be honest, it makes the car difficult to dribe in tems of concentrating on hitting shift points, etc. They way it was this race made the car much easier to concentrate on driving.
I guess after flattening the headers twice in the last month, it's really shaken my confidence not only in the car, but my driving concentration as well.
