I haven't decided how to lower it now.

    I met the lead chassis development engineer for the Lightning at the track Satruday. That was cool. Learned a lot of stuff from him and it made me even more glad I bought the '04 truck instead of an older one used. improved sway bar end links and said they suspension changes really did makie it handle better and he even told me why those changes were made between '02 and '03, which was a pretty funny story. Gave me some back story on all the wheels and what not too. Very good guy to talk to. Totally forgot his name.
    What was he driving? It could have been Jeff in the Datsun Z.

    I really don't even know what he was driving, he was in a group adjacent to group 3 though because he hadn't had a chance to see me on track but made it a point to do so for session 4. Jeff, sounds like a possibility though. Damn, I suck at names.

    That car looks way to nice to be a LeMons car. I hope there is a ton of Bondo filling rust holes there.
