Paul Haney (The High Performance Tire) basically said you need to be a high profile race team to acquire the information on tires. I've never seen actual spring rates of any tires I run so I chose to ignore that aspect. If I can't see it, it isn't there, right?
If anyone really wants to nerd out, get some scales, decent measuring setup (calipers to the rim edge?), and a couple hundred lbs of sand. Let me know what the stiffness curve looks like

Speaking of Beers. Lets get a plan together to meet up prior to racing on Tuesday. I plan on being there some time Monday morning. We could just meet up during dinner. Maybe we should make up some name tags.

Here's an update from the last MidDiv at Lincold this past weekend.
I had a horrible start on Sat. I found out that my alignment was off (no thanks to Jensen Tire), corner ballance was off, ride heights were off and we had fuel starve for the first time. Took the car back to Omaha and spent 3 hours re-doing the alignment and corner ballance. Sunday was much better with the car handeling the best it has all season.
I've closed the gap on Nick J to about 1 second now (on 60 sec course), and considering the other mods he has done, I feel pretty good about that.

So, got back from the Meadowlands event today... Ghostshadow... Got me by 1.6ish seconds... (then Perry Aidelbaum beat him by 3 seconds in his own car... perry is a machine, and took 2nd PAX)
Dan, you car feels great... cant wait to get my big bar in... I'd be curious to see how your car with the 1000lb springs would do on a bumpier lot, It felt great on the perfectly smooth meadowlands lot though. Thanks for taking me for the ride!
