Lightbulb Re: Tracker DH offering: the Fastrack?

I'm just back from a conference at the Tracker factory, and we spent some time going over the FasTrack. This thread is the first place on the planet for the details in this update. To save my own time, since I'm about to head off the grid for several hours, I'll use some bullet points. For those of you used to my habits like that, it'll make sense.

--Designed by Larry Balma. In fact, he's working on them as I type this.
--Design input from Don (Loaded) and Bream (Gravity).
--True 7" hanger width (like a Randal 180), which means 178mm (forget fractions for now).
--Oversized bushings, poured by Tracker and designed especially for this truck. Oh, they're the "Stimulator III", btw.
--50 degree baseplates.
--Asymmetrical Hangers. Flip to stabilize.
--inverted, "nuts out", Grade 8 kingpins.
--Pressed axles.
--Cast in the same forge Tracker uses for all their trucks. Baseplates are logoed with Tracker badge.
--Both "old school" and "new school" drillings.
--More information, images and photos to come.
