[Shotimes] Link to Sway bar info?

Good point.

I had this issue with my '99 at both Road Atlanta and Hallett, although it
was particularly bad at Road Atlanta. Part of the issue is that the SHO ATX
always seems to be in the wrong gear, but at both tracks, I would be all
over people's trunks through the curves, but then we would hit a straight
and the MTX SHOs would walk away from me and not allow a pass. As soon as we
hit corners again, I would be backpedaling waiting for them to toddle
through.

The corner workers at Hallett were decent about flagging people, but Road
Atlanta sucked for that.

If that happened to me now that I've been around longer, and the corner
workers don't flag someone, they're gonna get passed where they may least
expect it........and they can pay to clean out their own shorts!!

And please "breathe" the throttle when you're letting someone by.  The cars
are all relatively close in acceleration.  It's very hard to pass someone on
the straight if his foot's to the floor.

Had a guy at Gingerman in a BMW X5, with the 4.4L V8.  He was slow as hell
through the turns and really holding people up.  Problem is, on the two
straights where you can pass he kept his foot in it.  Those things are fast
in a straight line!  I had to kind of set him up in the turn leading to the
straight, and use second gear coming out (normally it would be a third gear
turn, but we were going at his pace).  Swung wide out of the turn and he and
I had a big 'ole drag race down the straight. I had to keep my foot in it
until after he hit the brakes, then stomp on my brakes.  Went around him on
the outside holding my breath!.
