I would love to here from Ryan Sargent and Gary Hull on this but others are welcome to chime in as well. What air pressure do you run on all of your tires and if it is an oval does it make a difference?

I run 28psi and have never knocked a tire off the bead and I don't run beadlocks. Have not tried to see how low I can go though and my rig is 5400lbs

Gary, thanks. My car is about 1500 lbs to 1800lbs. I was going to run it about 24 on the outside and 22 on the inside. I take it we will still be turning left in Redmond.

I saw the pic of the guy that stuffed it with his truck on one of the jumps. That looked like it could have been a might painful. I hope that wasn't you.

Gary, it was good to see you this weekend. I wish I had time to talk. I wasn't trying to be rude, but I was in crisis mode. My shock broke in the heat race and I was trying to fix it to get into the main. That track was the bumpiest thing I've ever seen except for Laughlin. The drivers were really nice. I tried to stay out of everyone's way.

ya, I bent a shock and upper locating bar, broke a brake line and was trying to fix or I would have stopped back by. It is a little rough but everyone has to go over the same stuff.

Gary, I'm bumping my springs up to 750lbs and getting my shock fixed. I haven't figured out yet whether I'm going back to Redmond in September or down to Prairie City in October. Prairie City is twice as far and more expensive, but I think I can be more competative there.

going stiff on the rear will help. Crank the front c/o's down too. Like to just at the bottom stop.
It will jack up the rear of the car too. giving you more travel to suck up bumps.
Will feel smoother, not as rough, from the driver's seat too.
do you have bump stops and limit straps?
Will save your shocks, cause you'll be using them.

Bump stops went away during the three practice laps. I do have limiting straps that helped with one direction. Now, I just need to stiffen the back end up.

Thanks for the info.
