    washeduptoo:
    you will probably over-index top radius rod, more top bar angle is not the answer.
    more lower bar angle could help,
    either bar adjustment, driver would have to be on throttle for changes to take effect, since it is tight on entry, I am assuming they are off throttle some.

    try 1" - 1.5" above pinion centerline.
    or soften LF spring.
    make it an easy quick adjustment.

    I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

      We tried to increase stagger and all we can get with the tires we have now is 1in unless we blow it up and let it set ARkk704 tires. Not really wanting to do that at this time due to the usually driver will be in the car this week and the same track, things might be different but who knows. Thanks

      JustAddDirt, moving the jbar up on pinion is something that we can look at if this continues as its an easy adjustment. Thanks

      Another adjustment I thought about was shorten the lr drop by .25 but that will take away rear steer and maybe forward Thanks

      I will have to ask the driver on the entry tight.

        I would look at the LF spring. That was my next move if we had more races last season. My J-bar was already in the "top" about 1in above the pinion

          Might have to do that next week since it would require getting another spring and scale. Got another 600 but not a 550. Was thinking of swapping the front springs to see how it does before buying another spring or putting the 600 in rf, might kill two birds with one stone, loosen entry and give drive off. Thanks

            Maybe try trailing the RR a small amount and see if that helps.

              Thanks, might have to try that as we did just close that up. Thanks

                I guess the 3in offset on rr worked for the regular driver, thanks for all the suggestions.
