I know but that would be nutz. LOL

I don't know man I'll echo Steilow thoughts SMOTY has turned into top dollar show all, all I have to say is good luck. Popularity alone might not be enough.

And when/if the perfect winning mega buck owner gets the car done, he hires a professional.............driver!

You do know that when BB struggled at Del Mar, calling for advice had said "Pro" opining with "Go back to your old set-up." There are so many different variations that allow suspension and chassis tuning but one thing is crystal clear. The car has to be compliant, first and foremost.

One question I asked in the very beginning of all this was "Are you chasing a time or chasing compliancy?" as if you have one, you'll most likely have the other. With a really, really good driver, something with holes in the handling can be forced to get around a corner and yes, turn a fast lap anywhere.

At last conversation with Cris and this may have changed by today, BB currently has very stiff springs and (I think) shocks set accordingly which, to me, doesn't work with my driving abilities. Neither Dave nor I have driven this car since it's initial outing at a local event so can't comment on what's happening currently. There are a lot of cooks throwing ingredients in the soup pot and hopefully one or two will hit on that special something that's makes it a winner.

Good luck!
