I am not at the track this week, and no longer work for RGM but I feel very sorry for the guys at the track and the shop.

Mr.Nead if your still watch the tread,I have a theory that the chassis issue is really that the truck arms are to stiff torsionally. Care to share any thoughts?

I think the chassis itself is too stiff in torsion...

to be honest there is really nothing wrong with the chassis at RGM they are pretty much the same as everyone in the series runs, in fact in some ways they are nicer then then most, that is mostly due to Johnny Kaiser and the fab shop at RGM the Chassis are very good. As for the truck arms, there has been a lot of effort put into building truck arms with the softest rate that you can make them withing the limits of the rules. RGM is lacking is in the body department, by that I mean the teams with money are constantly making small developments on they body's.The COT is an aerodynamic nightmare and if you could walk out and push on any car out there on the quarter panel it would spin it out. That being said not being able to work on the body in a wind tunnel (lack of funding) is at this time the biggest hurtle RGM can not overcome

Loved the way you turned this team around when you joined back up. Its a shame on whatever happened but it looks very professional how you are handling it.

BTW, loved your comment at Indy "Should have took Tires" - RG will not learn about just driving the car.

Gene, you were the best thing that happened to RGM - twice. Your efforts and especially your patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can hear the fat lady warming up....
