Whatever works sometimes is the best. Not everything works the same for everyone. The books are more guidelines than gospel,
Better to be hated for who you are, Than to be loved for who you are not.

 Yeah Steve, not everything I tell people will work on their chassis because I pre-bend my chassis the way I want it.

Mine get bent the way Vern wants it, and Brandon, and Dan, etc...
I make due with what I have, or I would have had to clip it 7 times last year alone.

 That explains your cross weight numbers... I was going to nickname you "catfish" because to run a dryslick track on the bottomI have come home and scaled the chassis, found it was at 52 percent from bottom dwelling that night... figured with those cross numbers  that you was bottom dwelling

I wish I was a bottom feeder. Car likes to be mid to middle high through the turns. Tracks been dry slick or dusty lately with grip only on the bottom.
Added a 3 blocks of lead tonight, and made a "few" adjustments...I feel good about this weekend...guess we'll see!

You can call me anything you want Gimpster, I'm not that way, as long as you can take it in return!  ;D

 I run a 20 lb weight under the left running board, one on the flat upright bar above the rear left axle and two 20 pound weights on the lower frame rail bolted just before the frame angles up to the rear bumper horn on the left rear and still I barely make weight
