Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

But to be honest, I don't know if it was there.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

I think it was probably that they did get a little bit of a leg up on the weekend, but they were definitely more competitive on the weekend.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Yeah, yeah.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Yeah, right.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

So that was interesting.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

I think, well, I'm sure if I was a Chevy driver, I'd probably be upset about that, but it is what it is.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Like, I think, I don't know where they ended up getting to with the, what did they actually do to the cars for the upgrade?

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Back 50 mil and up 30 mil.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Yeah, and it's not just Chevy.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Like, 888 have to go in because we're the Ford homologation team.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

So Pete and Dado have to go in and sort of not argue against it but see because I guess they're talking how they've got like a small box that they want to operate in of each car stays in that box.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

It's called the parity box, yeah.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

The parity box.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

But I believe with some of the adjustments they were giving, the Chev was going to get outside of that like at a bit of an advantage.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

So I don't know if it's so much that โ€“

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

if you're giving more downforce to the rear they've got to take it off the front and all that to stay inside inside that which i don't know where they ended up getting getting to with it i was talking to uh pete ringwood who's um you know our guy that sort of heads up all that at triple eight and dutto um on the i think i was talking to them on the wednesday when i got there and then they did the change on the thursday so it'd be interesting to find out a bit more about that to see

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Well, like you're saying, like, the aero balance is forward, so we have to actually put the mechanical balance or shift it to the rearwards.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Yeah.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

yeah so we can follow because i couldn't follow anyone on the weekend well that was always the argument in 23 when the ford wasn't as good as a chevy they were always saying that they just were too pitch sensitive yeah and what that is for people listening at home is when we break we break it pitches the rear of the car up and as you turn in you lose the rear and and that's something we've been struggling with since we've switched to ford as well and something we had

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

know chevy and and that that you're always working on but um yeah that's that's the biggest thing with these cars right now is trying to flow the speed to the corner without losing the rear yeah um so that was interesting that they not interesting that they got the leg up i think we all knew it was going to come but it's i guess it's
