Just picked up a set of Sweet Ackerman gauges and started measuring our car. It’s a 2016 GRT with 2021 MB Custom spindles. We used to have a 2015 MB Custom late model but sold it. The ‘21 spindles...

Is the spindle moving back if the chassis is raked 5-7 degrees at full droop?If you set the upper control arm at the same rake angle as the lower does caster change with travel?Something to think...

With what I have measured, modern cars take the chassis somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-7 degrees fore and aft, and 5-7 degrees right and left. Meaning, you end up losing caster on both sides,...

What are some thoughts on RF load and how fast you can apply load? I’ve read many of the threads about this subject on this forum, but I can’t seem to find any cohesive threads that address it. We...

As far as shocks go, aside from their primary function as controlling spring oscillation, I like to think of them as timing devices. Geometry determines how much weight is transferred. Springs...

Been thinking about the 5th and 6th coil and wondering what the point of having a 6th coil let the pinion angle wrap beyond the initial 6-7 degrees at ride height. Why not just have a hard stop with...

Is your LF lifting off the ground at that point?
-
Maybe I’m all wet but hear is what I’m thinking. Many guys are on a 225-275 right rear spring. Let’s call it 250 for simplicity. Now let’s say you replace that 250 with a stack of 500/500...a...

Does anybody know the natural frequency of a DLM tire, roughly? I know this is probably dependent on compound but looking for a general idea/range.
-
No supply chain is definitely not helpful! Lol just trying to understand how to make it work right. How much lower is the steering arm? Did they move the lower ball joint down so the didn’t have such...
-
Thanks Ghopper. I’m not opposed to upgrading, but how would I make the new ones work with the different ball joint location and steering arms? The car is still a front strut car that has MAX 4” RF...

Not getting a ton of help from MB. They say spindles are no longer available for our 2014 car. Anybody know if a 2014 MB customs late model utilizes something similar to rocket blue gray? The overall...

Sorry meant say what car number? Did you use to run a trakstar a few years back? I remember watching a guy half-lap the field in a crate a few years back at Belleville and the car was yellow #92?
-
What car do you run? Were you at Enid last year?
-
Awesome! Looks like there may be two of us without a left rear quarter panel then lol. We’ll definitely have an open motor. Steel block though.
-
Thanks billet. We’ve raced at Belleville several times in the last 8 years. First 4-5 times as open motors with NCRA. I think we were averaging 130ish by feature time 8 years ago. The last time we...
-
Thanks for the replies. The reason I am pondering is that we have a regional series around here that has some pretty lax rules and is racing at Belleville in June. Probability faster than Bristol....
-
What are your opinions on removing the left rear quarter panel completely for places like Bristol? Thinking about it hypothetically from an aerodynamic standpoint. It obviously catches any air coming...
-
The other thing to consider in this question is the starting point of the car. I think the main question for the thread is rooted in the idea that the car is right to begin with when the track is...
-
Brad, what do we need to evaluate on the engine? Or is it permanently and irreversibly hurt?
-
Thanks, Brad. I failed to mention in my original post that we were bumping the chip just going into the corner for the last 10 laps or so. Once we cleaned off the top it got faster. Maybe getting...
-
Just ran a race last night on a hammer down 3/8 mile track. Water temps were hovering around 250 for half of the race (about 10-12laps). The last two or three laps temperature started climbing and...
-
Can you send a link where you are buying? Assuming you are using a 2.5” spring? Can’t find a 6 inch 100# spring. They start at 300#. Looked for Eibach and Swift and neither had one. Maybe this is...
-
Where are you finding a 6” 100# spring? Was only able the find a 7”.
