Thought I'd provide an update on race weekend with the new ATI damper on my 2300. Ran two races last night. Finished 6th in the first one with some corner exit issues, made some adjustments for the later race and was running a strong 4th when I ran through some oil from a blown motor on a lapped truck. While spinning I was hit in the driver's door by another truck. The hit was hard enough that it broke the bearing in the starter so I was done for the night. It may be my imagination, but I swear I can feel the difference in the engine with the damper on it. The motor revs much stronger and smoother than it did last year, all the way to 7800, which is where I shift from 1st to 2nd. There is no degradation in off corner speed. if anything it's taking the gas better than ever. If the extra weight on the end of the crank is doing anything, I cannot tell by the first two races. The damper was expensive, but so far well worth it to me.
