Where does your spotter sit?

Same place the Assasin spotter sits :D when you find out where that is can you tell me? :flipoff2:

pix never tell the whole story so i cant tell you it's right or wrong by the pix sorry .. i will say that at full droop if the spring is coming away from the adjustment collar you may have to stiff a spring rate but like i said i cant tell by the pix ..

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's alive, time to kick some ass

If I don't make it up there to wish you luck in person :beer: and oh yea, I haven't had a chance to pick up the sliders from your dad yet or even call Ryan about welding that other stuff yet....my friggin' Timing chain decided to go on me so I have no transportation. As soon as I get it done I'll get the sliders and get ahold of Ryan.
Later
Jeff

:D :D :D It sounds like evereywhere around the world it's always the same when building new cars. Just a bit before the race you drive it around your workshop or farm and then to trailer and you are just so tired that it sure would nice to get some shut eye :)

We are also in the same situation in with our new car Alfaster. First race is at Saturday and we haven't tested the car at all in the woods and rocks.

Alfaster (it was just show ready in this pic)

Cool Nick, I'll just give Ryan a call then
Later and again good luck
Jeff

Looks very sick!!! Did you say that you run a 22R? Why not an 22RE?

nick its looking sweet! can't wait to see it in reno- Jess

Jare. yes it is the same all over the world. work all night untill the day before your first competition then load up and haul ass.

most of our competitions have just two classes.

Big
and
Bigger

Didn't think it could be done, but you sure as hell surprised me... :rolleyes:

Congratulations!!!

GOOD LUCK and kick some ass ... :flipoff2:

Lookin' gooooooood:beer: The later pictures have me a bit confused though...... are you still planning on the SSR's, or have you switched to MT/R's?
________
MM6 (http://www.yamaha-tech.com/wiki/Yamaha_MM6)

The original plan was to run my SSr's, but Mike wasn't able to make the comp because of business obligations, so he is letting Nick run his 37 MTR's which will be way better than my SSR's, which are 4 sale by the way.

Subtle. I like it.

Cool rigs though, both of 'em!

Toy, you guys are lucky you ain't in the pro modified class. I'd hate to see you get beat by a couple of chicks (4x4Grrl and Rocksie). :flipoff2: See y'all this weekend. :cool2:

I'd say from the pics that you are very well balancedas far as spring rate goes. Must have taken some thought to get the coils and coil-overs working smoothly together, better than most i have seen. It also looks like the angle you put in the lower links is helping to correct flex-steer. Good Job!

And the 2-piece front shaft is cool too, keeps it up outta the way...
Laters-

Nick that thing is coming together fast! I won't be able to make it to Calrocs to watch you guys so good luck!!

Man that has come a long way in 2 weeks since I saw it...I sure wish I could have been able to that weekend off, but I got turned down at work...damn!!!:D
