DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

DionR said

You already admitted you have enough on your plate so developing the kit for handling wasn't going to work for you to do it yourself. So you went looking for someone that would work it over and improve the design, which Tim did. You even said you hand picked him for that reason. Effectively, what Tim has under his car now isn't any of your design beyond the general layout, only the rack is in the same location as far as I know.

It's pretty ballesy to say Tim redesigned the HDK suspension. I know Tim asked Denny if he could lower the point for the LCAs to get the front down. You can actually see in the first picture with the original HDK K-Member that Tim's car sits higher than my torsion bar car. I wasn't aware that Tim provided the design for it. It was an ask that Denny reworked and delivered. See, that's what R&D is about design and test. If a test pilot says the plane does roll fast enough, it may be an issue with the ailerons. The pilot doesn't all of a sudden become the designer, he's testing and verifying. That's what Tim was doing with Denny, and in a very short amount of time Time jumped from 4th, 5th place at MoParty Grand Champion to winner. And his tires are still too small!

The only problem I have with Denny is that he didn't pick me! But I wasn't ready two ago and didn't have the driver experience Tim did in autocross, and I still don't. Congrats to Tim's HDK equipped HemiDuster for winning at MoParty 2025, outstanding job guys! Pictures from SCCA CAM Challenge earlier this year in STL.
