All -
Just saw this on the forum. Very interesting:

Four things I see in this:
1) The later BJ8 suspension is clearly an advance over this earlier set up,
as you can see the axle winding up every time he puts on power. The radius
rods serve to stop the windup.
2) Later in the video you see the discs start getting white hot (the car is
racing up to 150 mph)
3) Dutch racers are really into the mechanics of it all.
4) I admire the desire to race using the stock suspension!
Cheers,
Alan
