Post SAC Raceway 5-5


May 5th is grudge night at Sac raceway. unlike the test and tune they have where they only use one lane. Grudge night is side by side heads up raceing as many runs as you can do.its the first one of the year so it might be a litle crowded. But still a lot of fun. starts at 5pm go's to 10'pm. So any body up for A litle racing and tire smoking.

Cool

Sounds like fun to me!

BTW, when you were at the Good Guys, did you say you had lowered your truck with the rear shackles but without the hangers? If so, what do the hangers do, bring it even lower? Is there any detriment to doing the lowering without changing the rear hangers?

I really liked the way your truck sat... mine looks like a 4x4 to me now by comparison.

Jeff I have not done the hangers yet. IF I do the rear hangers it would level the truck out. Right now the rear is alitle higher than the front.I would like to make sure I have no problems with the sway bar end links.I think it would be beter to shorten the end links to keep the bars level with the frame...PS updated the Sig.the mods never stop it seams...

Cool

I'm kinda old school when it comes to having a little "rake" to my vehicle, so that sounds like the ticket to me!

Luckily, I know a good machinist so I can get those links shortened.

Are you still running the stock shocks or did you go to something else? Have you had any problems with bottoming?

Thanks!!
Jeff

There are no brakets on Grudge night.usuly just two lanes. do your run and get back in line.been known to get 6 runs in a couple hours.It is the first grudge night this year so sould be a good crowd but nothing like Sears Point.

Question

So, anyone in the Bay besides me going? If so, you want to hook up with me in Livermore on the way out?

Later!
