stating the obvious-some more speed and laps would be nice

Probably doing major shock & spring changes.Remember last race at Atlanta. RG ran a ton of laps in Happy hour and lasted 4 laps.

Number of laps practiced is not the issue,lack of speed is.

If RG & Larry wanted to try something different with the shocks from what they already had made up, then the shock guy has to make them and that takes time.They could have 30 different types of shocks in the cabinet ready to go , but if RG wants something different, then they have to create them from scratch.

But in the picture, RG isnt talking to the shock guy. he is talking with one of the front end specialists.

I agree it takes time to build shocks,I'm the shock specialist for myself.

One of the deals with being a single car team. A multi car team might have a type of shock already made up . You cant just stock 1,000 different shocks in the hauler.These haulers are at the weight limits as it is...lol...
