    Whoops...

    For some reason, I was thinking you already said the car weighed 2400. Now I don't see that above anywhere. These weights are calculated for 2400 total weight with those percentages.

    If you know your actual total weight, I can adjust the wheel weights for that.

          ditch the huge RF tie-down and go with about half of that amount, and see if it improves. It should greatly
          I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

            I think your bars being 3 inches out of alignment may possibly be an issue. Are you sure the car is not to tight on entry, which will hurt exit on a slick track. Maybe go up another 30 lbs on bite, which will give more drive off and loosen entry also. Are you dropping tire pressures when the track is slick? Are you leading or trailing the left rear? And have you talked to your chassis builder about this specific problem? Just some thoughts. JMO

                Have you seen ruhlman? Haha all in fun, I'm about 240 myself. I think JAD has the best suggestion yet take off the high rebound rf and cut it down to about 6-8 on rebound

                    Off the gas more lr will loosen entry. You have taken weight off of RR.
