COMMENTS: "John likes the feel of a stock dutch; it's a little mushy, and he finds it makes starts easier," mechanic
Bushey said. "He also runs like a one-pound flywheel weight to keep th ings tame and help the rear wheel hook up a bit better.
John's not very fussy overall , just likes things pretty stiff due to his style of bashing into things. We always run the same setup as
we do at the sand tracks; it's just where John seems most comfortable."
