Joe and all,
On my rotoflex GT6 (same rear suspension as Joe's SuperSpit Tiny Tim), I
replaced my 5/8ths bar with the 7/8ths bar last year, with no real effect on
the wheelspin while in right-hand turns. It does corner flatter, but the
drive wheel still spins, both on short sharp turns (such as Blackhawk Farms'
turn 3A) and carousel turns (such as Blackhawk Farms turn 3). My current
theory (W.A.G.) is that the weight transfer still occurs, causing loss of
traction at the right/rear wheel, regardless of the flatter cornering
attitude. Still reading through Mr. Puhn's book to figure this out.
But, point is, the 7/8ths bar didn't help me. Perhaps with Tiny Tim's
lighter engine, the result would be different.

John and Ted,
It appears that my next step is to put the 7/8" swaybar on the front
(replacing the 5/8" one) and see what the result is at next Sunday's event.
Thanks for the tips. I'll let you know how it goes!
