soft rr spring?

I didnt say he was the best ever I sais he was the best ive seen. Not trying to start anything.

[jsf74]

Just trying to help my brother get a solid setup under this car to try an aviod some of the common rookie mistakes.

[koltveitracing67]

try it for yourself. it needs to be in your own book of knowledge, you cant get believe half of what you read on the www...

Best advice,,,,,,,The only way to know for sure is to try it. If it doesnt work, you havent failed, you have simply learned.....

Are yall talking about Neil Kemp from Kirby Arkansas ?... he does carry the left front alot of the times and wins a bunch around here at DPS, hes given me a lil advice on how to carry the left front, im gonna try it on our frist practice in Mar. ive only ever went down to 150

They have 4 wheels for a reason,,,,

Whenever someone is using a very questionable spring rate, there is a lot more to the story.

My opinion on three wheeling, Try picking up a wheel and carrying it down the straightaway and then try rolling it down the track and see which is easier lol. for a rookie, definitely don't do anything to dramatic. i was in his position last year and we didn't scale the car till half way through my season, when my dad felt i was ready. i learned how to drive on a car that wasn't on the money. once we set the car up it felt easier to drive IMO (of course it was setup Finally). give them a chance to learn then throw stuff out there to try. if it doesn't work, take it back to the drawing board and try again!

I disagree with the above. The rookie needs a good handling car that he can develop with instead of creating bad habits. Set it up standard. Plenty of people have told you what you need to do. Do it.

Yep. My first car had probably the most basic setup you could ever imagine, and although it wasn't the fastest, it handled well, and I learned the basics about setups and car control/placement, and after that first year, picking up the "trick" stuff was easier.

Fundamentals and safety always come before speed.

[salsakiller]

I guess I should have rephrased that, we had it close but not fine tuned. i could drive it easily enough but i wasn't that fastest like MR. dubya's situation

I've seen a lot of drivers through the years trying to keep up with the Joneses. I learned early on that what works for a driver in a specific chassis on a specific night given the track conditions for that night isn't going to necessarily be the key setting up your car. As a driver who has put an ill handling car into the wall and destroyed the chassis, I'll tell you that there often is a cost to experimenting based on what everyone else is doing. I humbly recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the car you plan to put your brother in and get the baseline setup. Let him run a couple of races and expose him to varying track conditions. Initially change the line on the track to meet the track conditions then make a single change to the car setup and document the results. Avoid making whole sale changes between races as it destroys the baseline and any success that you experience is no longer attributable and you'll end up chasing your tail. Take a look at this article: http://pitstopusa.com/n-2836-legenda...g-secrets.html This article talks about modifieds but observe Mr. Merritt's comments when it comes to three wheelin.

I think this is what yall are talking about, one car is neils and the other is his buddys car

[ToddSmith16]

that's beyond retarded..one is on an excessive amount of 3 wheels and the other is on 2 wheels. How is that drivable in traffic?

[3dracer]

The first car looks like the limit the travel on the lf to do that. To me...that just looks dumb as Todd and I drive right on by them with 4 on the floor.

Why would you want to 3 wheel? It's not for rookies. Every racecar on the track has 4 wheels. I would work on using all 4 wheels. Not setting up to take away tire.. I've seen far more races won with 4 tires working than 3..
