Jay, I thought you'd be interested to read that the Club will have a shock dyno at this year's Runoffs to do compliance checking for classes requiring spec shocks. We don't own this particular dyno, but we are building a library of dyno curves for compliance checking, and I strongly suspect that the Club will have its own dyno within another year or two.
Like with us buying a Cam Pro, having a shock dyno is now an expected cost of doing business. Just a data point I thought you and others would be interested in.
