I hear that! I've been working feverishly on my trailer for the last few weeks. So much so, that some stuff on the car didn't get done. I'm still fabricating the new winch mount. Hopefully it will get finished tomorrow. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow!

Wundergrounds latest data. Baro is higher than what was estimated previously but temperature is up.

7AM: -2255 DA
10AM: -1656 DA
1PM: -1143 DA
4PM: -1062 DA

Anyone have suggestions on initial shock settings for DA shocks front and rear? Tire pressure? (Hoosiers 27x10.5)

Yes, you should set them initially and run pressure in the tires.

Simmer down Eor.

1. Set rebound 2 clicks CCW from 50/50.
2. Set compression to max CW to hold shamu up during shifts.
3. Evaluate fail
4. Repeat

Jersey_TA 11-29-2012 08:23 PM
I wish I had 16s mounted up. Brain spared another year lol j/k

coolmanvette75 11-29-2012 09:06 PM
Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Have fun and be safe. Just a few tips

1. Avoid the rocks on the return road
2. If a Benz wants to race you, just say no
3. Use shanks, not acorn lug nuts
4. Don't run out of gas
5. Don't shift into reverse instead of 3rd
6. Avoid 140mph burnouts

I think that covers everything

BigAls87Z28 11-29-2012 09:13 PM
Welp, despite my best efforts, my boss will be at my store at 8am. Best part? I'm not supposed to be into work till 1.
Oh well, blow **** up guys.
