FireKracker Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 TJ from Butches Speed Shop will be coming out to Dumont to tune rails on Sat & possibly Sun (Nov 13th and 14th), so far we have mine and 3 others scheduled for Sat. He seems to think it will go pretty fast and "If he has time" after wards he might be willing to take some "walk-ins" (they would be on a case by case basis due to available parts) basic set up is $250 plus parts, if he has to open up cans for then it is $35 per can. We will be camping in area B-7 on the DDR grid map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptNkllm Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ok 1 question... did he have to readjust after his 1st try? Was it real close?.. I might want him to adjust it here in town and then just drive it for T-Day.. So how did his initial adjustment go? Capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt my car was actually close after the initial adjustments in camp, I had some major spring binding going on in the fronts, but Bud's car he had some major reworking on his shocks, so I guess it actually depends on what you have and such, I think you had your car tuned once already so he could probably get it close, but ask TJ, he'll give ya the skinny...

malibuvlx Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I noticed a huge difference watching everone drive. I used to cring watching everyones cars react the way they did. The run we took Suday all the cars looked smooth and Paul was airing it out in his. Gonna have to call him Air Pauly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
