2021 3 SuperCars out the Ralphs Rapid Transit Stable.

Points Championship run will be made in the HP2 this season. Looking to run 14 Races with the HP2. Upgrades for 2021 in the HP2 is a new Mill. 578 Hemi 12 to 1, Cam Change to a more aggressive Cam profile.

Demon will be back for 2021. Limited Schedule. The 416 has not been changed. Changes made to the suspension.

AAR Cuda will also be back for 2021. Limited Schedule. New Transmission is the only upgrade for 2021. Plans are to pull the 444 at the end of the season and partner with Chris Kuskowski & Jeff Patterson to upgrade build.

Looking at 2022, Burnt Orange 1970 Road Runner is getting a new Mill, 500 inch 13.5 to 1 Hemi. Build is almost complete.

The arms race continues

The 451" that replaced the 383" gets replaced with a 499"
Getting quicker but probably not moving up the qualifying order with everyone else upgrading too.

Nothing much, a little porting etc. changing front torsion bars to get more stored energy. Start to control the front end rise with the shock.

No, I have the original 340 bars in it now and watching the slow-mo videos it seems to first compress the tire with the axle almost staying stationary in the car. It has a slight separation. Then it rotates around the instant center and starts lifting the nose. Tops out the front end fine, but I’m looking for a smoother/quicker transition from compressing the tire to rotating. Also the front shocks are full loose on extension. With /6 bars it will have more stored energy and bring the nose up quicker and let it rotate quicker. If it starts to top out the front to quick and bounce the tire I can slow it down by tightening the extension on the front shock.
