I was at George Seeley's shop (7-time Class 5 SCORE champ) prior to this year's San Felipe 250. Here are some pics/videos of prep for rear half-shafts:

[BigF250on44s]

why IRS and not a trailing arm setup? Or by IRS do you mean trailing arm setup and not the traditional a-arm setup?

Here some cross over tech.:D

I was lucky enough to have 2hours with this work of art about 4 months ago. It is an amazing piece of work. every detail of the car was built off hand drawn shop drawings, and I found myself spending an equal amount of time enjoying the drawings as I did the work on the car. Testing of the car has been very promising.:D

You see a lot of TT's running Krawlers now. Pretty crazy, I'm guessing they're a different compound or they wouldn't last a race.

[makya]

I thought they were running Brawlers. Different pattern, Different compound?

[BigF250on44s]

Well I was unawhare that you could get 39" Bajas. Last time I enquired about them they said the biggest that I could order were 37"

[IronBenderII]

It was the same pattern for sure... Not sure if a different name. Will tell you in a couple of weeks...
