Does OSM not worry about suspension types and just focus on the tire size and weights to regulate the class ?? Pardon me if I missed something but I did not see any rules about suspension for the 8.5 cars. I am trying to build to fit in with your group.

that is correct. we like to keep it as simple as possible. also, being that everyone is gettin so fast on those tires, not having suspension restrictions allows for a safer car.

are you saying stock suspension cars aren't safe? or just the drivers?

im not sayin either lol. i think in some series the stock suspension cars are certainly pushing the limits(but thats what its all about right? ;)). its the drivers that are doing a hell of a job, driving those cars with what they've got to work with. they get a big thumbs up from me!
