4 tenths....that's not a very long time when you consider how long they roll through the corners at Martinsville. 4 tenths from the pole to Robby in 34th. Again, superimposed the field would blow over the finish line how fast? My friends are telling me, no, insisting so that I preserve the integrity of myself and our group that I stop typing. We are at a STAG PARTY and some chick is helping me with my post here but I had to check in. GAS ON!

The biggest problem with the tires is lack of stagger (1.2in) In 'CUP' they get to run caster'd and camber'd rear end housings (max 2 degree'spos,neg,in,out) Even with +2RT and -2LT camber the rear tires are grading the inner (side closest to the inside of the track) 2/3rd's of both rear tires and cording the outer (side of tire closest to the wall)
If the tire had another 1 inch of stagger the tires would wear out about the same time as a fuel load. Watch for tires only stops tomorrow ,maybe even rear tires only.
This lack of stagger is not good for Robby.He needs to back the corner up,roll the center ( no gas and no brake ) for the Detroit Locker to work. IMO

That's crazy changing the housing angle, is that to help with planting the car for turn in angle ?

Little worried about the tire issues....the Tire Gremlins seem to LOVE hanging around the 7 hauler and cause issues during the race...lol.

Hopefully we have a good clean run today!
