Getting older makes you or atleast gives you more time to reflect back on past ventures in trying this or that but when you realize that knowing and understanding before hand of the simple truths that always worked for good as defined by winning,it makes you wonder just how good other drivers are that win otherwise! Was it the horses, foot control, track conditions, luck of the draw or LUCK on the track in avoiding the wrecks and other drivers??? Racing is a team sport and the other cars is what makes it possible! Setting goals in life or on the track is best understood with plenty of forethought! It's always bad to be DQed over a stolen gas cap or fire hazzard with a forgoten ZIP-TIE! After 35 years I have see most of it happen to all so be advised to be ready at heart to enjoy from the sidelines as well as the drivers seat as a team of SPORTSMANS!!!

I am the first to ask QUESTIONS to get answers from others right or wrong! All input is factual in proofs and theorems as who in my world has answers but by my own deduction and proven testing to be logical!!! Doubt all you know and test anything you don't with research! Here to help anyway I can and Thanks guys cause where would I be without a driver!!!

CASTER--- I have seen lots of different mangled up setting to make the worst of set-ups more drivable but the use of frame twist is something a lot overlook in terms of caster tranfering weight and giving 4 wheel steer capibilities to the driver! This to me is the first point of a good set-up in giving the driver control of steer front and rear as well as control of pounds at each wheel as needed for planting in the turn goin in or adding traction pounds while getting off the turn sideways with a simple turn of the steering wheel! Caster can throw pounds where they are needed or take them away from where they are not and add them from one corner to the other or ft to rear as the springs vary! Once this is given to control, the need for hiking the left rear or waiting on roll over to change rear steer or traction is a bit old-school to me! If we need only 1/2 of an inch of roll out to win with only 80lbs. of left rear, transfer is key to this control in the rear drive from left to right traction in pounds as the front turns also to balance the traction and direction of drive while in the turn! Spring combos that work togeter to give or take helpful assist by frame twisting and use of caster is well worth the effort in the reaserch and use!!!! ANY QUESTIONS--You can trow hunderds of pounds with a turn of the steering (before or after the roll) in your favor when correct and making control on the track yours!!!
