Yea it was killed but that guy is Fred Williams from Petersons and he was a cool guy. Wish I had been staying another day to wheel with him. He said he might be down the next time I go. I have more pictures on myspace.com/fidyrida

I am so excited for this race and to see what happens with racing and my future. Keep watching and I will post more pics here.

looks like you'll need more front uptravel

you got to be able to go fast.

Dovetail96 · Dec 27, 2007

Like the bottom of the frame allowing the axle to travel up farther?

yes, buts its hard to tell from the pics without the links motor etc.

Because from the pics shown I have no idea where the axle tubes are going to sit at ride height compared to the belly pan lower frame rails/tubes. But if the rigs going to sit low with relatively flat lower links I'd think you'll need more.

Whats your planned ride height and up/down travel?

I was thinking the same

pbmcauliffe · Dec 27, 2007

In that pic there is 9" between top of axle tube and frame, travel will be 6-7" up, 8-7" down. Full compression the axle will be at 3-2" from the front tube.

So it's going to sit prety tall then?

pbmcauliffe · Dec 27, 2007

just under 75" to top of cage with 20.5" under belly with 6" uptravel

Perfect--when we are zooooming--I wanna be comphy when I am screaming "oh **** oh ****" or when I have to jump out like superman to re-glue something that just shot off the rig :redneck:
