After my off-track excursion at Mid-Ohio, I made temporary fixes to get back on the race track. I needed to have the front and rear suspension fixed properly, so once again, I traveled to Annvile, PA to Mark Dougherty's shop. Mark, his sons Brendan and Matt, and their friend, Nate, spent the Monday after the London Cobra Show, whipping my challenge car back into shape. Koni shocks all around, new lower control arms (with adjustable rod ends), pinion angle corrected, new steering arm on the right front spindle (to replace the bent one), front end alignment, scaling, etc., etc. Car weighed 2,400 lbs with a half tank of gas. Cross weights ended up at 50.2, camber -2, caster +6.2, toe-in 3/16. The car drives beautifully and can't wait to try it out on the track again.

Always great to spend a day with the Dougherty family! Thank you, again!

Congrats on getting the car back into shape so quickly Garry. That Dougherty clan is top notch.
