Anything to report?
I was thinking about shocks and suspension the other day......way way back in the early 80s, I met the late Lee Sherman, which by the way is one of my racing heroes, we talked about his car, if I'm not mistaken a H/SA 1969 Camaro, maybe I/SA. Anyway, his car ran 11s, no frame connectors, 8 point rollbar, 6 cyl. front springs, mono rear springs with 90/10 shocks, drum brakes on all four corners. Lee Sherman was one of the greatest in Stock, he took the time to talk to me, answer any questions I had no matter how stupid they were, never looked down at me just because I was 13.
Why am I telling you this? You don't need expensive shocks and suspension peices under your car to be a racecar, simple parts, lots of research, a few bucks, and you too can have a very well put together racercar for alot less money than you think.
