    There's a modified builder out there that has perfected this. It over indexes just enough to lock it when it's out racing and then can wiggle the car when he wants to unlock it.
    I don't think he'd be that fast with a solid suspension.

      I thought the same. I've seen a few mentions if over indexing on purpose, but that would only be positively effective in my opinion, if you were qualifying on a super smooth fast race track.

        He also seemed to be Getting more hike than the other cars. Seemed to have found a way to get a little more even with the droop rule, definitely has something going on with the left rear.

          Yes, he has a lot more on-track droop. The new Rockets were built to screw you on the droop rule, not sure why Mark did that to his customers. But, he has way more on-track droop than other Longhorns as well. The change on how it is measured, compared to last year, as allowed for that. The new way they measure, makes the rule almost worthless, if you think a little and are willing to change some things.

            What's the new way to measure? The rules still have the way from last year on how to measure.

              RR no longer has to be off ground when checking

                So what now, you can put a super long rr shock on and let that tire stay on the ground? What’s the point in even having the rule anymore? Dumb

                  To me it looks like he’s got the car set up tighter than a drum as most do now. Using a lot of rear steer (axle lead) to help get the car turning. As for the LR it was way up there at GIS. Didn’t notice it as much at Bubba.

                                Glad I wasn't seeing things. First thing I noticed when it hit the track.
