    Also from what i am seeing so far, with these new Mods the set ups are virtually the same. Car weighs more, but the loads and stuff are close. We are running a zero index LR deal, heavy cage, and axle, with 300 lbs droop load currently.

    I wanted to hang on another year in the Supers, but not in the cards but i am still buying lotto tickets LOL !


    No LM, no man card


    Sorry Joking but I had too

You can put a much stagger as you want in within reason of course and i can still make your stuff dumptruck tight. I new a very successful racer years ago that swore you only adjust stagger for the size and shape of the race track. He says the shadow and banking of the corner isn't changing why does the stagger need to. You could argue this from several angles but bottom line is they won alot of races in their time running the same stagger weather it was hammer down or dryslick and this was at a track that can be either way depending on prep that week
    CP Furney wrote a book on Hoosier tires many years ago. He stated you had to adjust stagger due to the track conditions causing more or less squish in the right side tires!

    He was ahead of the times in his book. He had stagger tables based on turn radius's and rear track width.

    fwiw......he was an engineer in the aluminum industry and had many patents working for Alcoa!

    LOL @ Billet, its going to be different.

    Roll out, as i call it, measuring around the tire with a tape. Usually a SLM tire is anywhere from 95 to 89 ish maybe.

    A friend of mine bought one of them gauges (across the tire) nice bearing one that converts it to circumference, its kinda nice, but i just use a tape, kinda feel lost if i don't have one in my pocket at the track.

    Most people, 99% prob use roll out, I just wanted to make sure that is how they measure it too.

    Just say no...

    get a set of Hammond setup plates and put the car at posture and start measuring. I've measured quite a few different cars and you'll be surprised what you can learn.
