Steering stabilizers!? No kidding?

Mr. B., if you really want to make things right, I think the best thing you could do for these poor sods is to suggest they haul their rides to someone who knows what he is doing for a proper setup. Preferably someone who has actually succeeded at least once. Without whips and chains or ridiculous alignment settings.

There is sufficient proof out on the parking lots and tracks every weekend that this can be done. Since it is being done, that would seem to be pretty conclusive proof that it can be done. Instead of "imagineering", perhaps a little brotherly push toward some real help would be in order. We are all in this to get our friends out on the track, right? We wouldn't let some other factor keep us from helping a fellow racer, would we? We don't care what name came on that beautiful, fast car, do we? We're not under the impression that we're the only qualified one looking at these issues, are we?

Good. I knew that racers had more common sense than that. Now let's get on to helping these guys instead chasing internet brownie points.

If you're one of the unfortunates that has adopted this silly stuff, then do yourself a favor and get to North Cobras, or DV, or the NorCal group or somebody that you can trust to help you. They can, they will, and it's worth the effort. There is just too much fun to be had out there to let this nonsense keep you down.

I'll be thinking of you on the Andretti Straight on Thursday. Well maybe not then, but in the pits, for sure. Good luck, amigos.
