I agree grease ball. Apparently it's illegal to run your spoiler blade straight up?

Whew! Thank you! I wanted to be that guy in a steel block class that runs an aluminum motor! That would be awesome!

So just change the left rear spring and leave the others the same?

We keep loosing forward drive after a few laps on a dry slick track. We have been fighting this all season. So any ideas, thoughts, and or ramblings will be appreciated.

Here is the particulars:

GRT chassis, steel block late model class.

Here is the setup we ran yesterday (15aug15)

Springs... LF: 550#. RF:325#. LR: 225#. RR: 225#.
Percentages: Left: 52.7%. Rear: 54.6%. Cross: 52.5%.
Total scaled weight in the shop: 2463#
Bite: 128#. (Then adjust to add 50# for feature.
Gear: 5:83. Turned 7100 rpm in feature.
Pinion angle: 7°.
Tires: Hoosiers. Compound on rear for feature were LR: 1325. RR: 1300.
Stagger: 3-1/2".

The car is scaled every week and the changes are making it better. But we are missing a key element. The car had its best finish two weeks in a row. 6th. I know there are top fives in this car!
If we can get the car to stick!

Thank you
