    Congrat's again to the Guys!
    They got down to 3 cars Monday at the Nat'l event in Bristol after it was post-poned due to rain all weekend.

    Apollo

    I would really like to hear more about this car, and how he has set up his suspension:Brow: obviously hes got it all figured out pretty nicely. We Apollo people salute you, and hope this year goes at least as well as last years success.

    You guys need to help us out and entice him to come to Vegas in October for the Buick West Coast Nats.

    Thanks folks.....

    Suspension.... we were running multi leaf springs the QA-1 adjustable shocks. We were using regular traction bars.

    We now run Calvert Racing "mono-leaf" springs with Calverts "Caltrac" bars.... All NICE Stuff!!!

    When is this race?? Buick Nats? The Buick may be out west in Vegas to run the fall Nat'l event....

    We will be at Atco, NJ this weekend..


    Take Care Everyone,

    Issac, are you using stock suspension bushings on your car (subframe and rear leafs esp, ) I couldnt find any suppliers for the subframe bushings (tried PST, etc)so I used solid aluminum bushings for a 74 nova, I dont like it, rides to harsh and the height is not correct, kind of stumped at this point, and curious if you used different ones from either the ventura, omega, etc. Also on your multi-leafs have you added any extra banding straps to the front section? Im told that helps as well but Im leery of trying anything like that. Ive tried to look up all your old threads on the car before asking this stuff but didnt see anything in this area. Thanks

    Hey Carry, if you are looking for polyurethane body mount bushings for your Apollo, try Jegs part # 355-3-4101R. These bushings are made by Energy Suspension and cost $36.99. I have installed a set myself, and was happy with them.

    Issac,

    I think we're talking the same Vegas event. October 8-9. Would be a blast to watch you run, even better to line up against you for a good whoopin'.. I can take it.
