No disrespect intended at all, whatsoever, but, 13th and 15th place
finishes are not exactly top finishers in my book. top 5 to me is the top
finishers. I realize they might of recieved a trophy for their respective
finish and it is an indication of the competition that ahows up at
nationals but still, to me they're not top driver finishing spots.

Just think of how much better they can do to with a big front bar! :)

OK, fun aside, to reiterate what I said earlier, you can compensate for
not having a front swaybar with stiffer springs. This is probably what
they have done AND it kind ofworks for them. I dont know what else
they've done to their cars but it makes me wonder what they could of done
with a swaybar installed?
