Congratulations to these fine drivers and especially to Rob Clark who was great all season. Some highlights of the season. The entries are getting stronger and better. Our resource trailer which carries community spare parts saved at least 2 or 3 DNF or DNS. Now we have a spare engine in the trailer, exhaust systems, spare noses for some cars, and just about every maintenance part including a fuel cell and oil coolers and rack and pinion steering boxes.


One thing that made a big impression on me is Gene Martindale drove both an Evolution and the Silver Bullet and both cars had Brad Buenting’s dynamic rear roll stiffness (DRRS) rear suspension with Ohlins quad adjustable rear dampers. The amazing part is, for the whole season, Gene used only one set of Hoosier R60A tires including a full test day before the season. This is a real innovation.

I think what Robert was getting at is with Standard zero roll rear suspension the front tires wear much faster due
to all the roll resistance being in the front. The DRRS evens this out and makes the front tires last longer.
