I guess I'm worried bout me cause I understood exactly what Mayf was
saying... and it's the same thing Dave was saying last year.... the Yank
Loads are just freaking HUGE...
Don't laugh at this question... but What would be wrong with a Bungee style
cord arrangement of some sort? We aren't drag racing.... why does the hit
have to be violent, if we can control it someway?
Dave has some interesting ideas on Shock absorbtion systems as well....
I'm seriously listening here as the bugeye might actually have the kinda
speeds that make all of this conversation have merit...
