Left rear in front

[RacerX10]

3 months before the season starts, and you guys have worked around the new (stupid) rule already

[Dirt2727]

Just put a short straight panhard bar on it..and with todays shock packages it will fly, and have plenty of traction

[BWRC_6M]

u guys diont get it, its a great rule they rules allow certain 4 shocks they can run they cost about 90 a piece ok so if u go spring behind that means u will spend money for a good LRF shock to conrtol the car has we know, b with the limited motor rules with spring in front of the axel that is way less strain on the motors saving the racers money, before u carve up the track for coming up with this class which has a lot of ppl talking about it and racing it that kind of thinking is why the expense of racing is so high

Before the days of LR shock behind cars we ran the LR clamped to the axle in front and the RR clamped behind the axle. We controlled traction off the torque arm. We lapped the field in a 35 lap feature with this setup

Sounds to me like some track owner longs for the days of no side bite tail out 65% rear weight 1990's racing. Maybe I can make a comeback?

What did you do with the torque arm to gain traction?

What he means is that the more the torque arm moves, the more dynamic wedge the car picked up.

Crazy idea?

So with the rule of having the shock/spring ahead would this work?Pic is 90* off but you get the idea. It would allow birdcage to index into the front spring.

That way downhill bar will kill forward bite.

I'd be curious to see how they actually interpret/enforce their own rule. With the spring having to be mounted "to the birdcage" does that mean you can't clamp it to the tube? And if it has to be a 4-Bar or Z-Link, I guess my suggestion would actually be a 5-Bar?

[V1SLM]

We ran the LR clamped up for years in the early 2000's. The car was as fast as they are today when you are out of traffic, the car would 3-wheel like crazy, but man was it fast when you where out front!

[TheJet-09]

Did you run a 90/10 on top of the rearend to control it going into the corner? I vaguely remember those days. Seems like they would "crash" down when you let off. I also like the short, straight panhard bar idea!

I thought I saw a jbar rule mentioned. Was frame mount on left and over driveshaft to rt side of pinion. But read through 2 times and can't find it now. Back to the x link in front, couldn't it be lowered to almost one point where both mount to frame to allow the birdcage to index into the frt mounted spring.

185lb spring clamped up on the LR in front, 90/10 on top of rear end, 275lb on RR in front, , 21" to 23" j bar, 40" lift bar 350lb spring on a dummy shock, chained limiter no 6th coil 550lb springs across the front turn off RF brake give it a bunch of rear % and go!

[Dirtmod13]

Ok so what about a 4 link like this?
