Tire spring load

[LRtireCHANGER]

Dirt tracks are often very rutted out and ruff by the time the feature happens. The track is usually in the process of developing a black streak, or maybe it already has a black streak most of the way through both corners by feature time. I have long believed that the very best drivers have a learned insticnt for how much corner speed the tires can handle through the corner without slipping too much. I also believe the same drivers have a much better than average feel for how much throttle thet tires can handle without too much spin. Both these things being said, these new chassis give the buyer alot of good info on spring loads, and these setup helps really help to make the cars better, but I will always belive that an elite driver is required in order to win big events. I believe the same group of elite drivers that are winning today could also win 30 years ago in the cars that were current in this ear.

Says the one who makes thinks an 8” spring gives you more sidebite lololol. But hey, when all else fails, make rearend jokes…… 👍🏻

NEVER said it did! Guees you failed reading comprehension as well!

If that is all they was off, then they got a really good matched set of tires.

How much difference does it take for an elite driver to notice the difference?

Just stop guy.. rule 1 of sh*t talking on message boards: if you’re gonna critique someone’s reading/spelling/grammar (which is about the lowest level of insult possible) you HAVE to spell everything right in your post…… please go back to the tailgate section and talk about locking up Hillary and leave the Racecar talk to the people like MBR, Billet, etc

My question is how is compressing a tire vertically on a flat surface while stationary even remotely relevant to any condition seen on the car lol

Excellent point.
Kinda like when weight distribution was set by 2x4's under the LR tire, kind of like when static scaling was all we knew, today we measure the loads differently, perhaps more accurately, I suppose tomorrow we realize that our "load numbers" don't 100 percent equate the various loads on the track either. For now, it' what we know and have the ability to do at home.

Awful convenient to leave out the first 4 words! A real man would just admit he was wrong and apologize!
