What is your burnout strategy on a very hot track?

IMO, the BEST money you could spend right now to improve your car is a set of double adjustable shocks.

I can’t emphasize how critical a double adjustable shock is. If you can tune for bump and rebound separately you will always fight your chassis.

You may need the rebound really lose to hit the tire and the bump incredibly stiff to keep the tire from rebounding back up off the track.

Or maybe you need to stiffen up the rebound to hit the tires less and keep the bump really stiff to keep the tires planted.

Or any combination in between. You can’t do that with a 3 or even a 9 way single adjustable shock.

Regardless of what Calvert says, those single adjustable shocks are at best a horrible compromise. At best.
