So, without being condescending in any way... We are new to Bandos this year as well. And ther ARE some great folks on this forum. There are too many questions to ask to provide guidance. To be fair, we have not won a race yet but have gotten faster every week at our track. Same config. 3/8's mile and fairly high bank, red plate, gear rule and right side tire pressure rule. I think we are 3rd or 4th in points and that is after finishing 8th and 6th in our first 2 races. We have run very well lately and it is only a matter of time.
We struggled with car setup, some of the finer tuning that is necessary on a track like this, motor issues (our stuff is used) and, most importantly, driver. Our biggest pickup, by far, has been with the racing line and understanding the draft.
So, that said, I would be happy to help you out. PM me and I will give you my contact info. No promises, but I will share what we have learned. We have had a lot of help both here and at the track. I will help if I can.
