Using slicks at the track would eliminate a lot of the suspension hassle from the equation to give him a quick, effective solution to hooking at the track. His car is not a purpose built race car that he wants to run 8s in every weekend. Therefore doing a full suspension for him outside of shocks/struts and springs would be a waste of money on his end.

There are many routes you can go for a "proper" setup.

Beefcake runs an auto.

All of those 275 guys run glides, which are basically autos. You know exactly why too.
Seriously, relax. You get wound up way too easy. You're wrong, doesn't mean you're an idiot. You're just inexperienced is all.

So I can't explain my reasoning for making the statement I made? I'm not wrong. I simply have a different opinion than you, so you think I'm wrong. DRs and slicks both work. But one is easier and more cost effective than the other to produce the goals that Jeff has for the car.

Still doesn't excuse your blatant miss of not reading the post before you posted, where I corrected my statement after a poor choice of wording.
