I hear this a lot! It gets in fine but then!!!! Yep ! Then the transitions of things changes all you have going for you! A low tire or too much tucked under by lack of offset, j-bar extremes, high mounted weight or lifting the left gets the better of things and you get added steer or roll that changes pounds at the wheels or drive angles does this for you! Either way loose when needing the throttle is an ill of setups! Most become simple but goes against what you want in other respects or what you have been told before! Its a Peter and Paul as things go their merry way in the turn! Less steer in the roll or less roll is needed, springs getting off their preload from being too strong and not having been preloaded enough for the amount of travel in the roll over! A shock hindering a smooth transition, A ft. end setting doing the backwards thing in the direction of steer! Not enough left side weight to control the process! A little of all the above! Then its really tight and won't drive in! Yep!!! Adding weight to the LLR position is not my choice but more my fix for added control of ills of all the little things that ad up to the monster of the lack there of! Allowing me to put all else to good use in every respect I can find and the added traction of rear percent doesn't hurt my getting off faster at all but rather improves speeds all the way around the track! Momentum is a strange sort in motion when thinking turning gains or added pounds of thrust applied! Pounds toted where, is best at the left rear wheel in rear percent, left side weight, left drag in turning as a pivot point, and traction coming off with out transitions of it moving around easily LLR! I've heard it said that one pound of turning weight of the engine is equal to toting 200 pounds of lead! Loose some, gain some, Win some is my way of thinking! If tight off re-read this post backwards or jut add more steer when rolled! But then its loose down the straights! Yep! The right drive has to over come the left but only to equal back out to a norm to get off straight! Pounds or drive in steer is the flipXflop I am noted for finding the cross and traction of drivability needed going in and from the middle off to be faster down the straights !

Now that you are in the turn, don't read this backwards if tight off! You need right drive but not right weight as you wish it to stop steering and straighten up getting off! More j-bar angle is not a fix, more left rear drive of steer is not the answer, more lead up high and right is not the answer! All adds steer but holds it as does a open rear! Roll out can add right side drive but kills power in the straights! Tire radius when rolled and flatted as well as bite location at the surface of tract contact, changes roll out and steer of bite locations! So are you pushing your sled sideways or steering smoothly ft. and rear? Its not all in the bars angles or locations of travel in their roll but all points combined by multi-factors of steer! Calming the left and adding right drive will let roll out get you off the corner smoothly while the LLR weight keeps your left side always hooked with little movement or steer needed at that point!

One or many of these may have helped once and hindered latter! J-bar is best set coasting in as a free chassis! If extreme it holds the chassis down on the left getting out of the throttle or pushes up on the left getting more steer while trying to get off straight! Loose in tight off or tight in loose off or loose in and looser off!!! A happy spot has to be found or understood at the least! Bar angles do the same breaking, they pull it down! Which way and what way does things need to move to make you happy with your car? Easy right steer and right drive to go left or left holding and added steer with left drive pushing to the right because you are sideways with added steer in hiking and loss of right traction and coming off high ft. steering to the right! Some are just working on getting in better with extremes holding the car planted! Try using neg. caster as your only extreme in handling!

Most info in quick fixes addresses one thing! Each set-up being different poses ill factors of most any movement or change made! The education of such things is the only sure cure! 35 years would be a long term study of any coarse in making things work together or tolerating the other factors involved! Its still a challenge to stay on top of constant changing things! Going left still has its basic factors and ills! I have passed my middle and looking forward to the straights in life! Just trying to speed things along before I go! Moving forward does not require the past to haunt you unless you persist in the ills of it! Getting off the turn once there is getting back to level or static settings of control and not adding to the roll accumulated by the G-forces of nature! As they are diminished and easier to reconcile, the right drive can handle this with ease making smooth transitions in the process! Consider the facts of the moment in your set-up one by one to see a better way of recovery off the corner!
