We had Chuck come up from San Diego for few days and couple weekends
working with Rick Flanagan and our guys doing some severe panic tests.
Our new design is being done to cut costs and still have the performance
and dependability.
Rick Flanagan is a Professional Designer/Engineer, so when he requests that
we need to test his design, I cannot avoid it.
First test coach was Rick own coach.
Later that was the coach that was at 2 Western States Rally and took about
16 guys for test rive and they all returned with amazement in its
performance and the wheels were so hot you could not put your hand on the
rims.
We put one on my Cad 540 coach and I do tend to tail gate and can tell you
my experience having a 5,000 lbs of toad behind and the tode brake not
working.
