Thanks Kyle for asking and doing! Congrads on listening and winning! Hard work and time in asking has paid off for both of us in the thrill of winning again for a aging crew chief with old school, country boy, shade tree, technology! Two wins now! Top 3 from the rear isn't bad either! Second place didn't hurt my feelings none at a 1/2 car length! A welcome change to this old man, old school of today's standards of winning! |

If making changes and understanding why it works, let others know or ask why not to help understand the process and get it correct! Some one to one has helped others winning now up north! Some things are most simple but combined usage can multiply ills of combinations! Keep it simple and not read more into things than is needed to get one thing to work! The others must comply also one by one to make all of them do their one function only to control the conflict of expanding ills of set-ups! Nothing is simple but we have to simplify to understand functions! Continue asking to get faster! You know the others are!

A late thank you to the ones who listened and ask how to make this old school win 3 out of five like Kyle did! The changes are a huge step but all were impressed once grasping the concept and having a faster, tighter, more drivable car! For those that are undecided still in the top ten every race, you may want take a second look at doing the same things that got and keep you there! I have no idea how hard a race car is to drive but I do know how to win a few after 35 years of working on every detail of horses and set-ups! Ask all you need to grasp the reasons each factor has its place in trying not to change the setup but to do the job intended to get things done without interference or upset of settings! The world is full of variations to achieve a good balance in the corners!

Looking at the Shaw set-up, most things are close to my settings other than leaning it left to level the bars when rolled and shock choice on the right ft. not being a 3-3 to aid in nosing! I like a little more split up front to hold the cross better and of coarse the 150 pounds of lead on the left rear to help the balance of preloads in all factors to make it all transfer better while holding it's left rear poundage at all times! The greater split allows the left front to have a 100-200 pound more loaded weaker spring and compress it for more travel upwards while holding the weight off the stronger right ft.spring to give it more room to nose with less preload to start with, with it leaned left!

When searching a professors out look on a point of interest at a collage hours away at lunch time! I found them out to lunch! The head of the lab that day ask if he could help! As I spoke of my need he told me quickly that he knew nothing of electrical things and that his work was in molecular structure! As I reminded him of the bonds of polarity in his field, the old school charm hit home as to ascertaining my level of electrical usage in his project! No greater lab than a big shade tree and quest for knowledge of getting things done! Maybe it works better with iced tea than lemonade! A helping hand in any aspect of enriching fuels in burn timing by polarization should yield more horses the old school way! Hard to get a amen on some ideas from todays complicated outlook of what is best for the fuel molecules! I guess I should have stuck to air temp quality to contain more charge of expansion rates in combustion but still I try with my old school outlook!

You need not be a science major to figure some things out! A + B = C and you shouldn't have to prove it with the same three pages it takes to get 1 + 2 = 3! There is too much to learn and there should be more given answers! If still stuck on math or the geometry of factors in science don't worry about my spelling it out wrong! The issue here is my been there done that for you or at-least I tried thinking outside the box the parts came in! You only need to see things as they are and not out of touch with todays world! Old school wasn't that hard to get, its the 35 years of practical that's the given in how to win!

Just poking around in older post and finding some really good topics with great discussion! The wrong time of year to be talking about temps but horses achieved is never out of season! The type of cooling and reactions caught my attention about use of restrictors and where pressures change to promote temp drop in the exchange of transfer! Some were doing it with oil and others with soap and staying clean! Some used chemicals to absorb and release better but none spoke of the suction of the pump or the pressure change at the restrictor other than the temp build and cap pounds! They talked of pulley sizes and impellers in moving it faster or slower! I never found the part where as all of the above and more comes in by making horses by fuel expansion rates of colder condensed fuel and air creating compression or easing flow in the runners by less expansion from having a heated intake! Of coarse the problem at hand of high temps to start with may have been being too lean! Cooling it would down would make it leaner, thus it might be hard to see improvements in temps made unless too rich to start with! Its not all in the cooling systems job description to cure all needs of a engine design as to octanes or timing issues in the burn or stress factors of heat produced!
