Ok thought I would post this before I get slammed, haha.
On the Cougar ONLY, ie NOT the Cat, the rear shocks are much better on the front of the rear shock tower.
Ok I said it, now can we just move on please???:thumbsup:

DC, How would you define "better"? I have only run my rear shocks on the rear of the tower. I was told this would make the car safer but it would not be as quick per lap. Is this your experience?

It has made the car more agile without being too aggresive for a driver like me:thumbsup:

And who says I am not a rear man, I use Trish's rear end on the Cat:p

Hi DC,

When u used your shocks on rear, did you mount wing position back as well? In accordance to the rear shock tower?

Looking forward to u coming to Torch at the end of the month:thumbsup:

Dinner will be bought for the record holder at the end of the day.

It's over a 5m run. We generally run 5m qualifying and then 7m finals. Ftd qualifying I expect

At the end of the day I thought after racing we could go and get some food and if we have a winner we'll pay for their meal.

Fairly simple :confused: and hopefully we'll have a great days racing etc.

A meal normally includes a beer doesn't it and a bit of friendly banter?

Mike, drop me an email..

Any questions re this please PM SteveB and also maybe take it into the TORCH section?

Steve will then reply etc.

Nathan has the advantage at the mo over the other potential visitors having driven the track all be it an a very wet day in November..
