[DeTomaso] need formula for springs needed-- was shocks for ORR

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Doug,
  you know all I care about (besides the B-girls) is getting to the starting line and finishing...everything else doesn't matter...besides I don't have any more room for 
  trophies ;-]>

  Whoa big fella! I only mentioned losing one of the two B-girls in an effort
to go faster. How bad do you want to win, slacker?

Fellow Slacker! ;-]>

I think you, Jason and others are all right on with your spring concern
comments.....all the supporting feedback from mfg's and unlimited
drivers is
forget replacing the shocks and just make an incremental increase to the
springs to the back end where I had a problem or full compression. I
currently am running 400 lb fronts and 700 lb rears.....I may have to
consider raising the back end up a half inch or so too but hate doing
that
since the car handles so well at every other ORR and at speed be it in
straights or corners of canyon road I am reluctant to make big changes.

I'm not sure what my speed was at when I hit the first dips but its at
the
end of a long straight...I could have been 150 but was probably closer
to
160......so right now I am going with a 750 on rears and adding a poly
shaft
stop on top shock shaft for added protection....if that doesn't work I
will
give up the donuts, macaroons and beer. ;-]>

thanks for your comments.

Dawg
