    Unfortunately we won't be at Eldora. Like I said move the decimal point and you might be close. Keep your secrets guru. We even ran decent(for a California rookie) at the Taz without what your talking about. One thing I have learned in my workings with shocks is that overdampening is overrated. Good luck to you.

      I was not saying that those numbers are needed . I said I asked a manufacture rep how to achieve a certain graph on rebound closed and what he told
      Me to put in there resulted in those numbers. I highly doubt anyone is running 700lbs of zero point on the compression side at a dirt track, but I do not doubt for a second that people are running more than 70lbs @3". The only people who know exactly what numbers the shocks on the zero and 6 are making are Bloomquist and rumley themselves. The guys buying cars from the " boutique " car builders have to know the shocks they get are not the same. There is no way on this earth that you are going to beat the zero on a consistent basis using info someone else gave you. The fast guys are the fast guys because they are able to figure it out themselves ..

        I am being very honest with you on the comp numbers for the taz. More so for the gap. Like you asked. In no way do I believe that would work at eldora. But then again I haven't tried a Hcss setup there either . Might work we have had some success at Winchester this weekend on the asphalt.

              I posted here many years ago about high dampening rates. Overrated is an understatement.

                My guys and gals have tallied up more than 65 wins this year combined along with 11 world records.

                Dek I don't know how or why I am even arguing this. Thank for making me break my resolution. I try and be honest but obviously you can only lead a horse to water.

                  There's several wins scattered all over this board of knowledge.


                  Once you explain the science behind your 1000# at zero shocks then you might catch a little of my attention.

                    Why do you feel it is better to add so much comp. rather than work with the spring or rebound.I am finding the some problems that, when you get in the high lbs numbers the off the shelf parts are not consistent and have to be rebuilt often.

                      I don't feel one is better than another. Huck asked how much compression were guys running on fast high banked tracks ?

                      I told him what I was building for tracks like tazewell and bulls gap. Those high clamp shocks are winning races there.

                      Why do I feel it's better to use this approach is simple physics and timing. You have to remember though what works for one may not work for another. That's why ask a lot of questions before I build a shock for someone. A lot more questions than a feel like typing.

                        Shocks are complicated tuning devices. We are still learning new uses for them and even finding out new interesting ways to interact with the car.

                        I believe there are some great things that will be coming out soon that will really make this sport grow.

                            Im everywhere that's how you master a skill ! I love dirt late models but I'm a racer first dek, my late model guys are doing extreamly well too. Stay outside of the box my friend .

                            Save the racers if you have questions call the shop through the week there's no magic in these things just a lot of misunderstanding. 513-519-7745

                              Btw that street car is up over 60,000 views in just a few days. It's actually a big deal in that world . That's why I shared it.

                                DEK you are no better than Brian. You claim to be a consultant. How about you tell us your drivers and big wins?
