    General Changes for a Big Half-Mile

    Typically just run 1/4 mile stuff anymore, but have the opportunity to run an old fairgrounds track...a pretty big half-mile. Flat, only raced on once a year, nothing fancy...

    What general changes would you make? Take some roll-steer out? Maybe lengthen the rear links, or lower the top ones a hole? Reduce toe out? Minimize stagger? How about lay the spoiler down?

    Any advice or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

    We race on a 1/4 mile bull ring a 3/8 and a 1/2 mile regularly and to be honest besides gear our base setup varies more for the conditions than the track size. The big places generally like a little more right side load because of the speeds but no whole sale changes .like at the bull ring i might be where i typically am for a feature in the heat race and may get to where i would be when it's really slick at the half mile for a average night at the bull ring. Basically I'm in the same tuning window at all three size tracks i may just be at different points at different times. But we will literally have the same base setup at all there places

      Maybe a little more RF spring. Might add more caster.
