Hi, Don.  

You still working on yours or did you get rid of it?

Anyway, 60' was 1.70 to1.73.  29.5 by 9" tires at 16 psi (per my questionable 
0-20 psi pencil gauge which will be retired with a good unit before the next 
race).

Fine tuning is the answer.  The suspension looks contrary to what I expected 
given the lift at staging and that is what bothers me.  Hmm - wonder if the 
pinion snubber is actually not hitting the floor?  Time for a system to check 
that movement.
