Hi team
In 2 weeks we take delivery of what in New Zealand we call a Super Saloon (Very similar to a Dirt Late Model) We have raced on the dirt for 15 years or more but in a totally different kind of car.
What do I need to know to be able to get this new car around the track? What is important to measure and understand, what is not? What cross weight should we aim for, what tyre pressures, what compression and rebound should we use as a starting point on all 4 corners. What wedge, ride height, etc. What do I need to know that I haven't asked about?
The car is a professional chassis, running a brand new everything including, A 428 Cubic in Cornett Thunder, Bert trans, winters diff, wilwood brakes, oil filled stub axles, full adjustable Integra canister shocks all around. All the best stuff we could buy down this end of the world.
I have attached a pic of a car that has just been finished by the same chassis builder, it's not ours, but it is exactly the same just so you can get an idea.
I would appreciate any guidance you can all give.
