  • @seedlesstom
    @seedlesstom Před 2 lety +163

    Leroy needs a test session somewhere other than bradenton. Figure out how you want to "zero out" the clutch and suspension on it, and go dial that thing in somewhere where the prep isn't on kill. Record the setup changes from that zero point. Then go to bradenton and do your thing there. You gotta be able to get that thing down track, and the bradenton setup/data ain't gonna do it. You'll knock the tires off at 97% of the other tracks in the world.

      @srcastic8764 Před 2 lety +9

      Very good advice. Getting it successfully at Bradenton is one thing. They have no problem with that. Getting it built for literally anywhere else is something else entirely. They need to rebuild the suspension and do whatever else they plan on doing, then go live at another track for a week or two, renting a shop or a portable lift so they can really do what they need to do to get it done right. Leroy has the power. He just needs a setup that can hold it in all situations and they’re not going to find it working at Bradenton.

    Some advice : Ask Kevin (AKA Mullet Master) how he managed to do the Suspension Setup on Mullet because Mullet aint giving as much Tyre spin issues like Leroy.
    My feeling is that the you dont get enough tyre heat into the tyres during burn out, and I think your Tyre Heat gauges (like you have on Mullet) will help prove my point.
    I must say I love the sound of Leroy's new motor, it sounds like the revs dont even drop when changing gears. WOW!

    In no means am I throwing shade on anyone else but George seems more alive and all since he joined y'all. He fits in great with jack stand and Cleetus and that is just my take on watching y'all for the last couple years. He definitely adds a lil sum tin sum tin to the channel. Always loved when he tagged alone on the race weeks. And ya gotta love when he blew up the pickup in the parking lot at the old shop, that has to be my favorite video of him. You couldn't have scripted that mess any better 😂
