    The short version is the turned stub is suppose to help keep corner speeds up by allowing the car to turn more freely. I bought a car with a turned stub (didnt know it at the time) the car turned like a dream but was always horribly loose and zero forward bite. Once I adjusted the car to act like it was square it improved. Given the choice I will never buy a turned stub car again.

      Turned stub

      How did you make up for it? Did you shorten the wheel base on the r side?

        If you are a traction racer than a turned stub is not for you.

        If you are a momentum racer then a turned stub is for you.
        Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

            Exactly!!

            If you like to throw the car in and run a ton of "wedge" or "LR" then if aint for you. If you drive it straight and keep the back end under you, you will probably like it.

                Would they be better for a tacky track or dry slick track.

                  Put your good eye on a Pierce car the stub is turned more on them than any other that I know of.Works real well on a clamped up setup,not so well on a springbehind setup they are turned so much they like to dogtrack down the straights if you let the LR get to high.

                        I've been wondering the same thing? The terminology in circle track racing is a little overwhelming!

                          I'm pretty sure the impressive cars are turned too.

                              pierce

                              If you measure pierce wheelbase it should be 108 leftside and 108 3/4 right side
