Wondering if anyone has been playing with some outrageously high bite numbers.... Like 400# plus? Got a couple locals here doing real well with it, but the details that I get are a bit sketchy... I can tell you that these cars are high left side weight cars, and not a lot of chassis or suspention movement....

How do they not push off the track ? If I run over about 100 lbs of bite, it wants to knock the wall down !!!

They have to run that much bite to hook up nearly 700hp in a stock suspension car....;)

when we drove them we stuck around 50 to 100#. we tried a couple of times going into the 200 range and the thing wanted to destroy the wall. maybe its one of those things were you get past a certain point it starts to free up again. try 400#s and let us know how it works lol

I have a few friends trying it as well...

LOTS of left side weight.... All the weight mounted low... And soft rear springs...

I drove a car set up like this.. It feels like it wants to spin out on corner entry.. Till you pick the throttle up and it will drive like up off the corner like crazy...

Problem with it was it seemed to have a sweet spot picking the throttle up... and if youre early on it... It will shove the nose or if you're late you'll spin it out...

I've watched them run it on a small track and a large track with big sweeping corners... It Favored the big track... They won a Ton of races on it...

I run 200 no driver in the car so 250-275 with driver full of fuel.

I run 52 left.

My car drives in great and off great and handles like a dream, if it runs correctly under the hood I always pass cars, no matter where I go.

Ive played around numbers close to 300 lbs of bite..had 250-200 rear springs and about 51% rear. Fairly large track, car was still really drivable and had tons of drive. Nothing close to 400 though
