Please note. If I ever forget to post a "Thank you" to a compliment in here or anywhere, I hope no one takes it as I was ignoring them.

Trust me when I say I have never had the kind of attention that is shown on this board or my own for that matter, and it can be rather overwhelming. Sometimes just saying Thank You doesn't seem like enough, so I sit here and stare at the screen trying to come up with something to say and my little fingers just sit there in mid-air waiting for instructions from my brain on what letters to start hitting.

I guess I just wanted to say to each and every one of you people in here a great big THANK YOU, I really do appreciate all the compliments given. You people have no idea what all this means to me.

Loveable Humble Mike

Cool vids and a nice save. I noticed that the passenger side wheelie bar wheel was a bit lower than the left one when you staged and it left a much whiter mark when it hit. Something like that will make you turn left in a hurry(especially with your weight and HP)

The right wheelie bar is set 1/2" higher than the left to try and confirm what we suspected. It was one of the steps we were taking to isolate what was making the car do that.

As soon as I get the car back off the lift, I have an adjustment to make that was suggested by a very reputable retired ProMod God. This could be the adjustment we have been looking for.
