Nope, no racing springs and yup on the second gear. Greg does the restarts in low, gets 2nd just before turn 1. Going to loosen up the Lower A-Arm bushings a tad. The car scales good, also have to run stock (spelled weak) axles in the rear end, if I set it too loose I'm concerned we'd snap the right axle if he pitches the back in too hard. Next year I'll be building an IMCA stock car for him and will be able to run some race car parts anyhow. This stock stuff really limits what you can do as far as adjustments......
