I just uploaded a document to our site with assembly notes and torque specs. It's a handy little document to stick in your setup book.

We have a bunch of other useful documents stored on our site as well. If you've never checked out our "useful documents" section take a look.

If you have documents that you believe would benefit your fellow racers, please pass them along. I will add appropriate documents to our library. 

Good luck this weekend!
