Very cool video ... what's the advantage of air over coil springs?

Re: New Video

tune-ability... it can give you an instant change in spring rate. There are some other things going on there that I cant get into but there ya have it

My bet is 'real-time' tuning of the spring rate/height vs. where it is on the track (starting line, 60', 660', etc....) for improved traction/stability to prevent unloading the tires.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: New Video

Scotti beat me to itI'm betting they have some sort of launch control that keeps pressure high to control weight transfer that then adjust the pressure, thus spring rate, for max traction through the rest of the pass.

Say Tony you guys have always spoiled me in the past so I feel bad asking but I had a hard luck event this sunday at the track and low sided my practice bike. I'm in the process of body repair and repaint in time for this coming sunday but I'm going to lose my favorite "mock" sponsor:


Normally I would just wait for my next order which is how I got these but with I have ART on my Suburban already so could a fella get some love in the form of some replacement decals?

Doesn't hurt to ask right.

Josh

Josh.... shoot me an e-mail and I can get some to you ... look at it this way, at least you low sided instead of high sided with a Jessie Ventura style body slam and hipper!

Re: New Video

sweet! this will be my last off topic post and then I'll end my hi-jack.
this was about a half a second before my over eager right hand spun the rear tire out from under me.

I never liked the green much ( I know, heretic right?) so I'm leaning towards Hok true blue with orion silver number plates to test the colors I picked for my 72.
