I would not say that I had an issue with knockback... and it certainly never was "bad"... but from time to time - depending on the track - it was noticable. I've got manual brakes and pretty finely tuned masters and honestly never felt that the problem was bad enough that I had to change but after the issues that we had last year during the One Lap with the bearings we were going to have to make some changes regardless.

There have been a lot of comments made about the increased cost of the floater setups - regardless of the manufacturer - but one consideration that helps offset the floater costs is that the axes are less then half the the cost of high quality solid axles.

We've got to tack some brackets on, bend up some brake lines and we should be good to go. Currie Enterprises did the assembly on the Baer Floater and everything looks promising so far.

Tom's design using the Corvette hubs should be awesome, especially since it will allow for a lot of potentially cool benefits...
