      Pro touring,,,

      Well as I have just joined up after seeing the mail from ART I had to check things out and you guys eem to be going at a similar way of thinking as I am .
      I bult my 78 C10 with cool ride and parallel 4 link and it has been a trip and a half . First thing on somethinglike this measure,measure,measure.
      But I first found out that air ride would turn and burn and drag in my 71 Monte Carlo after replacing my rear springs just before the 98 East Coast Power Tour. When I draged my car in 2000 the 60 foot time were dead consistant. So afte rstarting to have problems with my hip I broke in a car accidentI decided to lower my truck.
      and about 3 mo after droping it I was on my way to work throught som hilly /twisty roads and got the a$$ of a 01 Camaro that I knew had some mods and I stuck with him through all of the funstuff,with a C10 pick up and no real great tires/wheels (yet) so yes air ride can be a great handling mod.
      I am working on some Hbosy mods for the Monza and I am picking up a 85 GP that will ahve some suspension mods and my 402 BBC.
      From even back in 98 going to Mooresville NC from Indiana I found they air ride unparalleled compared to simple springs, loaded or unloaded all I did was change preasure to retain ride height and handling and load capacity,,, very cool.
      I hope to get to mix it up in the future on some courses with afew of you people,,, but I dont have flashy super high dollar cars just my puny excuse for cars,,, they may be ugly or rough but they will usually run good and hopefully handle even better and be safe.
      And never undersetimate a good air suspension.
      And since I work for Bridgestone/Firestone I do get access to some sweet tires such as SO-3 Pole Positions! Hopefully I can get my vehicles done soon and get to play.
      Awesome job on video and organization.
      Hopefully I can get a chance to try it out some time.
