Ive noticed that the top guys at the track never really touch there cars much for the feature as it slicks off. Is it something as simple as moving the jbar up and leavin the bars alone? Ive noticed that when im behind them the rear sets pretty far to the left. Just a question im throwin out there if anyone has advice.

Either tighten or loosen but have a car that you dont have to run side ways through the corner.

I like a car to be more on the free side than most on the slick. I feel it makes the car easier to drive straight so the only things we really adjust going to slick are stagger, air pressure, we do go heavy on fuel load to give the car some rear percentage. But not many bar angle adjustments.

Mark Bush had an article in Dirt mod about Wedge and Bite...... the jest of the story was some folks are leaving everything alone and just cranking down on the LR spring.... raising the LR ride height, AND , as a result.......
adds bite to the LR - good
increases bar angles on Lr- good
raises the J bar on the frame- good
raises the center of gravity on the rear of the car- good
increase rear steer- not good.....but not terrible if you don't trail the RR much or you run the Rear end square..

Higher the center of gravity more weight transfer from the inside to the outside
