I swear.. an Air Ride car could win every race for a solid year and still some would go.. "yea, but on paper it doesn't work" ... lol

You know...if it was easy, success would not be as tasty. I look back at how long it took electronic ignition to catch on....and electronic fuel injection...and radial tires... and so on.

I am not offended by all of this...I am encouraged. It motivates us to continue hardcore product development and gives us a reason to go to the track. That HAS to be a good thing...right?

I car truly sympathize with the guys who, at this point, are not sure if air suspension is the next electronic ignition...or the next "Spintech" wheel.
For me...its all good!

I would like to point out one thing about the Pigeon Forge event. The track used for AutoX H was unlike anything we had encountered to that point. The severe transition from the flat to the banked portion of the track caused many cars that had been normally well set up to bottom out or become otherwise "upset". The tunability of the air suspension allowed us to adapt to that situation fairly quickly with a minumum of effort [and no changed components].
On paper, this situation could have been accommodated with a traditional suspension. In the real world...score one for air ride.

Ive been running this car for 2 years handles good and i drive it pretty hard has 10 thousand miles and not 1 bag problem.We broke a shock in Fla. on power tour not a bag and Air Ride give me a new shock in gainsville at the next stop no charge .Thanks for steppin up Air Ride .Were using Air Ride in 4 other projects right now.

Ok my imput for what its worth!. when contacking one of the big 3 major a arm manufacters and haveing a one on one conversation(of the record) i askt them about air ride and coil over and four link system for my ride. AWNSER was:QUOTE just get the ""traditional"" lowering coils and good shocks like koni ore bieltstein lowerd leaf springs in the rear with eather call tracks ore slide alink bars set very mild. and you will not go slower then, set ups with a 3 ore4 link ecetera ecetera. he said in the end its a money makeing bisenis thing. and there are more roads to Rome!!!!. and the beter driver with same performance will usaly always win!!!!.....so i stuck and stik with lowering coils shocks and leaf springs forget about air rides ecetera..........ps dont bash my spelling im dislectic
