I took these all by myself, still a newb so the only editing was some cropping and occasional brightness adjustment.

I think this picture is pretty cool.



If we could see a little more of Luke's car it would be great but short of a burst of 20 shots that would be hard to get.

You can see the whole sequence here. We did have the best cloud if I do say so

my first thought was Ash from Alien:



anyways...congrats on the first place guys, that looks like a great weekend.

[GRMPer]

Yea, I guess I need to work on that draggin' ass.

Hey, but those little rubber coil spring spacers stayed put on the front!

Holy Rear Compression Batman .

[Jordan]

Did you have rear spacers in as well?

[paulh]

hey wait a minute...



that merkur has sunbursts on it!

Paul

[Jordan]

Yeah they use the same bolt pattern as later(?) 900s

[GRMPer]

Nope, but I've ordered the SAS spacers that Luke showed me. I might go back to the stock rear springs, I think they were taller than what's in there now.

[Jordan]

Maybe taller, but softer, which isn't going to do you any good.

[Luke]

Might be worth a trip to the junkyard to source some rear springs off a 900 hatchback. Thats what I am using now along with 1 SAS spacer (2 SAS spacers for mortimer shiff stage at RNY) and they work well.

[GRMPer]

Ok, will do!
