Achieving Balance

Well I spent 2 days in Cleveland GA. at RAT. I got to help with some intense testing of the DTM T-1 shroud and was permited the honor of useing the RAT dynamic balancing machine to spin all the parts for my 2275. It was my first time to touch the machine and I think I did very well.....OK the machine did very well. That thing is amazing. I ended up with a .24 oz inch tolerance, thats .04 from NASCAR spec.

Everyone needs balance.

Every time I get to go up there it is like a sience feild trip. This time I got to apply some of the sience to my project and get some of that DIY pride in the job. It will make you think twice before just un-boxing parts and bolting them together.
