I put this together. It is a little raw and doesn't have a fancy skin on it, but you can talk about whatever you want with no crazy filter (just no deliberate offensive...

I think Ohlins and Integra are the same shaft size, but not...

That's awesome! We should collaborate. It's rare to find other people, especially in the dirt racing world, that enjoy doing this kind of stuff. It would be nice to have a partner in crime to...

Hey hotshoe65s,yes, yes, and yes...There are four more equations to come that will define the dynamics of the system. The kinematics are another story all together. I have a completely separate...

Here is the next installment in our series on DLM vehicle dynamics. Let me know what you think so far.http://forum.bartlettmotorsportengineering.com/index.php?board=4.0

I have started a blog series on dirt late model vehicle dynamics. Check it out and let me know what you think. http://forum.bartlettmotorsportengineering.com/index.php?board=4.0

Yeah, it wold be nice if they would incorporate a glossary of terms or something to give some clear definition on things. Especially when you are racing across different regions of the country where...

I'm talking from a suspension input via bump or droop, not power input into the axle.

Every vehicle dynamics book I have ever read defines a live axle as one that has the left and right wheels linked together through a solid member. This means that any input on one wheel also induces...

Can someone explain this from section 12.14?E.) No “live-axle” rear-ends are permitted.Wouldn't this pretty much disqualify everyone in a dirt late model?

Not sure if you still need this or not. I have a calculator on my simulation page that will do this. Go to "SIM LOG IN" and create an account (it's free). Once logged in, go to "Virtual Scales". ...

Well, reading through some of these post, I was going to make a response, but Stede Bonnet did a pretty good job of summing up the main points. The one thing I might add is that you have to recognize...

MLR19, what is your booth number at PRI?

I wouldn't be too overly critical of the Lucas Oil series. I know it isn't on the Lucas Oil touring level, but would say Lucas based events in general may be starting to make an effort to crack...

We race at Wheatland on a weekly basis. Hamburgers there are normally around $4. Not sure why they would be $6 unless they bumped it up for a special show. Food at Wheatland is far better than...

I don't want to state the obvious, but since you said in the heading that this is a rookie question, I will go ahead and do so. 1) I would double check and make sure your scales are level. Typical...

I would double check that you have the 4 bar links in the correct hole locations. We used to have a GRT and switched to a Rocket chassis a few years ago. GRT would references holes from the top...

There are a lot of good books out there. Do a simple Amazon search under race car engineering, and you will find just about everything you need. Just be very careful. Most of the books you will...

Our team is looking into utilizing data acquisition this year. We have been looking at Autosports Labs. They have a system that is pretty economical for the sportsman. I think it is fairly new and...

That software is junk. I wouldn't waste my time messing with it. If you want a good basic 3D software, I would try using "Race by the Numbers" or something similar. Mark Bush has a variant of this...
