Talking about the suspension, look at the two photos of the two cars on the post Drag Pac #1 and #4.

Yeah and I have LOTS of questions about that, which run of Irving Johns and Jegs was that ?

Irving Johns car as has been already shown is faster than a snot rocket in the winter. He dosent lift near as much (in any of the pics I have ever seen of it in launch)

Why does Coughlins car and chassis look "out of shape" as it were, yes I understand torsional rigidity and all the things associated, but ? almost 2 tenths slower and looking like its working at it. Wheras Irving car SEEMS to "tuck and run" and its faster.....and is quite capable of running nearly 2 tenths faster than it has......?

Anyone who is a S/SS suspension guy shed any light on this ?

I am VERY curious about this. Is it simply a matter of setup to driver preference ? Or is something being lost on Caughlins ? If the car is hooking up running it into orbit dosent seem like a good use of power.

Cheers

Chris
