sorry for long quote, but it's a bit functional.

I went training today (this evening) on this dirt track and the car was'nt paefect anymore.
The track was a bit hard and with lots of holes, kinda "destroyed" by the lots of cars training in the last weeks.
I had to put less toe on the rear because the car was really jumpy on the long straight.

but, a question, how can I adjust the car on all those holes what the shocks are concerned. Should I go thicker on oil, stronger on springs ... a combination of those two?
I will try different things but thought any tips could help point me in the right direction.
thx in advance
