Consensus on big bar/soft spring?

[chetly]

I don't understand how people call me a fanboi for recommending talking to Mike when the OP originally asked about suspension for a class that Mike has dominated for the last 8-10 years.

Yet, when people recommend Ron Sutton for anything that's perfectly fine. Sounds like there is some people around here are fanbois of Ron as well.

To each their own...

Next time you are in town Rod let me know, I'll bring the blanket! Chet, get your car ready we are gonna have a drive off.

I had to take a step back and make sure I wasn't on C-C or AR15.com.

That's some good stuff Chet. We have all done business with Mike Chett and value his knowledge but WTF, should we just push all of our tool boxes and cheat sheet into the bay? Im gonna quote you as much as I can so you can stop back peddling with this editing.

It's your tone. You come across as an arrogant nut hugger/leg humper. Notch it down and folks will listen to what you have to say. You are doing your friend Mike a huge disservice.

Chetly, please man. Everybody knows Mike and loves him. We know you do too.

Making an argument in your favor by knocking another is simply deflection from the real issue being discussed. My high school girlfriend taught me that.

What are we fighting about, err discussing again?

Everyone knows I'm running a tempered version of a big bar soft spring setup and while I don't have any National titles under my name yet, I have had more than 1 multiple time national title holders mention to me after watching my car run in person that my car is faster than it should be.

Does that count?

I also don't believe that Ron is the only one using this type of setup. Watch a Cup car run at just about any small track or road course and watch the front suspension for more than just a couple laps then get back to the class here about what you see going on.

That doesn't mean that a big spring soft bar setup is wrong either, it's just a whole 'nother animal. If someone wants to run it, I say go for it. Nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head. It'll be settled out on the track...eventually.
