Sorry I was Posting and typing when you replied, so missed your Post.

I have been thinking about the height and I can remember George V from Python cars talking about height at the track at LeMans in Adelaide. He had Christian Agostin driving the #98 car and there was feedback that the car was floating on the main straight. Christian had previously been in a Porsche race car.

George then experimented with from spoilers etc. BUT his Cobras were a further 50mm+ - 2 inches lower than street height.

Now I know I am not driving fast enough to cause any lift. I feel the suspension set up is the problem. I don't think the body shape is contributing to the problem. Then again..

I will try the adjusment and see what happens. The shockers sound logical to me.

I just checked it and I am on position four (4) so there are another eight (8) positions to try up.

As I said I will keep you Posted. I will get some good feedback tomorrow from McDonald Bros. Racing and will Post the results/findings.



And all the time I thought it was my driving ability.

Cheers

Bernie
