    Clayton: you are correct. and you and I have been here too long!

    I can read a lot of crap before I just can't help myself.

    no. i'm not gonna do the back and forth/ruin every thread game. i'm more kind of hit and run.

    sometimes I almost feel guilty pushing buttons with the truth. but then I reconsider the ignorance/arrogance that finally pushed me to respond, and the guilt is gone.

    see you on another thread for a little fun very soon! (possibly about a no longer pending lawsuit!)

      Does anyone know how many Swartz cars mad the show & how they finished ? Other than Linville I'm not sure how many was in the 100 lap feature race ...

Cody grabbed me and another guy and said look at this. I can make a call and give you the the total scoop but as of Saturday night the left rear shock leaked off. It wasn't totally a dud but got worse every lap. Most of you know it alls have no clue how a shock works but that's what happened. I'm no expert but I know a little. The lr shock leaked off so in turn the weight slowly shifted to the lr of the car and fukd the balance of the car. You don't become one of the slowest car on the track because of a tire choice. Calm down and let common sense overcome your hate for the zero because what I speak is 110% fact! Take it to the bank.
        Ok, so you're saying the LR shock "leaked off" and was at "half the rate" it should have been... Then you say the weight moved to the LR because of this shock breaking... Do you want to pick your own holes in those physics?

                DTWC my take

                Brandon Sheppard won the biggest paying Lucas Oil race of the year and it was a good one.

                    B Shep won and passed a lot of cars to win it. I think the racing didn't get good until the last two races. Maybe they should have put more laps on the track earlier in the night. If the track was a little more racy for the B mains, we could have seen more passing. You never know, but racing did pick up in the A Main. Was it the race of the year? No, but still a very good race.

                      Necrosis I would be glad to help you. I know it's hard for a man such as yourself to believe but a shock has what we call rebound. When a shock leaks off it will in turn lower whatever corner of the car that particular shock is located. So when the shock leaked off it transferred more of the weight (balance) to the lr of the racecar. When a lr has more weight than I should it will make the car very tight and impossible to turn in a corner. Hence... Scott after the race saying the car was too tight and he basically had to sling the car in the corner and drive it sideways so he thought he chose the wrong rf tire when actually his lr shock had leaked off. I talked to Cody a couple times this week and it was believe it or not a simple seal. Wow.. Hard to believe right.

                        I thought he bumped the master switch.

                          I believe Necrosis knows what he's talking about, he isn't no dummy. It's obvious he works for a team that travels, and is in the know.

                              As far as the master switch I have no clue. Only the man driving the car would have that information
