      If you readjust lost wedge, it gives the car more tendency to rotate right under throttle. So tighter on gas.

        so if i would move lr closer in it would put tire patch closer to spring and shock which would help on slick conditions

          That is the complete opposite of what both responders said...and I agree with both responders.

            Most of the time to help on slick conditions is change driving style. We rarely change much for dry slick track. I change my corner entry and throttle control. We take stagger out and thats about it. (Running crate) we have adjusted on it a lot in the past and we end up in left field

              I am confused myself now although these days it don"t take much. A 2 in spacer on or of our car takes out 15 pounds of bite which should free up car on exit on throttle or so I always thought we do not readjust for bite removed after putting on spacer. I think the better way i to adjust driving style we have all seen the people who spend hours with car on scales go to race track hot lap come in and change every thing on car then have no clue as to what they did or which direction the car is gonna go when you go off in turn one with you on the outside on lap 1.

                  I used to be that guy. We have set fast time come in change carb, plugs, RF shock, adjust LR, and adjust every bar in the rear. Then everybody comes over and says you just set fast time why are you changing everything. Lol as long as you are making it faster its good right.

                    The goal is to be the fastest at about 11:45. It don't pay much to be the fastest at 7:30.

                      That's like I tell my son now when I drove the only lap that pays any money is the last one it don't matter what you look. Like getting there just be in front on that one.

                          I'm the opposite. I'm the guy that you can't find anywhere near my car because I did my work in the shop and already have a plan and I don't need to do anything I haven't already set up for.

                            But sometimes you expect smooth, slick and get a plowed field.

                              Exactly, you don't always get the same track each week. It's not asphalt. You think all these touring guys don't do the work in the shop? We have all those holes and adjustments for a reason. But by no means do you need them all.
