In reading Johnny v's post that he has been at the same tracks as Hasben, and that the cars never seem to come all the way down, turn in on their own, and they don't lose momentum. Leads me to think, without seeing for myself, that they are backing up the corner. There was discussion on this driving style in other posts. I've started driving this way myself and when i get it right the car is very fast. To back up the corner you SLOWLY back off throttle, about 1/3 to 1/2 of full while still in the straightaway, 2-3 car lengths sooner then you normally would. You also apply a LITTLE brake. Upon turning into corner you are able to get right back on throttle, without losing any momentum and not coming off the bars. Watch and listen to the fast cars and see if this is what they are doing. Like i said, i'm not that good at it on a consistent basis, and as always this is JMO.

Thanks everyone for your input. Bench racing is nearly over for us. Hopefully by using some of your ideas we will get this car working better.

Sounds like the car needs to be loosened up on entry.
That can be done with a softer RR and a softer LF. and less j-bar angle.
I have found that if you car is a bit loose on entry, you can back the corner up a bit, trailbrake and keep the car up on bars, and pullbar loaded, and you will have a greater corner speed through center and exit.
That is alot for a driver to learn, perfect, and remember to do each lap though.

sounds like you need to spend a couple days on the scales playing with lead and writing down all your results... plus how about your rr spring table is it even ? also maybe put some angle in rr bottom bar to loosen on entry when heavy play with wedge then take some angle out of bottom bar for feature? without seeing its a crap shoot!!
