 Sammy’s Innovations in the Channel Lock #1:

• First shock dyno in the CHANNEL LOCK trailer
• First electronic tire bleeder calibrator in his trailer
• During tire testing, with Goodyear, Sammy recommended a change to the block pattern on the rear tires to allow for better grip
• Recommended to Frankland Racing that they eliminate the double side plate quick change rear end, saving weight and reducing destructive flex in the housing
