Watch out when reading my post for my getting things backwards! I have been finding more in my post than ever before! Dyslexic tendencies seem to be out of the blue between my thoughts and typing! Point out any rights or lefts wrongly typed in my hurry of not proof reading! I will try to go back and correct any thing found! I know my whole set-up is backwards to most and this may be why I found it in the first place! Turning bolts the correct way has never been a issue but the tendencies may have helped in reverse engineering to understand how things work so well! HEY ----RACECAR---- spelled backwards is still the same so maybe no problem there! Anyone else notice this yet or just think all my post are just off the beaten path? |

Watching cars steering to the right but turning left for so many years may have programed a misconception in the fact that most racers try to use the left rear drive while trying to turn and drive the car to the left! Its not inconceivable to do so but does require going against the grain of a smooth flow that Mother Nature has provided for us! Don't get me wrong! I still use more left than right in pounds and the front does steer right a bit but the drive thrust when rolled evens out the traction as a gain and allows the free flow of movement where little roll or roll out or steer is needed to get around the turn faster while allowing the car to be straighter and more in control by the driver and not by the track conditions! The simple steer of both ends of the car with the steering wheel and having the frame twist and change the pounds at all four wheels in a controlled manner rather than the forced roll or throttle dictating steer and traction is what made winning a bit easier for us! If you can see my points in drivability making your car faster, ask all you need to get the bigger picture of why or how it works! What steers your chassis if off the pace to nose and roll, using the throttle or if the track changes??? Ruling out braking for help only as safety measure!!!

REVERSE ENGNEERING is like taking things apart to repair them! I was lucky enough to be born and raised at a time where you had to rebuild most things instead of just changing parts! Not much I haven't done in the backwards motion to find and understand failure of design! Most are just another walk in the park of friction and motion or load and angles along with a little heat expanding the universe! Most fields are covered by greener grass today as people specialize in one thing or the other and never see the connections between them all! I may have a broader out look on things than most would having never had the opportunities that life's hard work has left me with, the advantage of being open minded and keeping my rear end closed to steer by other means! Yes it does open a bit but closes on exit to get off straighter! A great advantage in passing cleanly down low when not pushing outwards against others by needless rear steer or left drive!

Looking in a mirror or making a lap in your head backwards will make things come to light a bit differently than the usual! Do we really have a clue what side we're looking at in the concept of reactions! Flipping a coin gives a 50/50 shot in getting at least the toss correct! We tend to concentrate on the left when the right deserves more attention! Try asking someone out of the blue in to the red circle of thought and common logic in simple matters one at a time! Most can question the best of theories we take for granted! Nothing is over our heads unless we are holding it there with insecure thought by lack of research! Test each concept and use a open mind when dealing with givens and reversed reactions caused on the left, for the left, and by the left to get the right side to work!!! I like input with an angle to get more output!

When I was a kid we had to grow most of what we had to eat, now you have to fight your way through the store and shop around to stay fed! We had to can, freeze, and store to spread it out to fit the hunger! Nothing was wasted, you had to if you wanted to eat! So you rush out and buy a chassis and try to run knowing the store is open and you can have it all! The forethought is never of storing or saving or spreading things out to fit year long or in most cases all night long! Reserve in usage and having more or holding on to what you have stored in a chassis comes to light in the final laps! If you didn't have dessert first you may be pleased at the end! The last laps are the important ones, so is your car still hungry or ready for a nap by then? Let it out a notch or two with a range that moves to keep in sink and be (free range) to have steady wins!

Going in the right direction-----Ranges gives this option to get better as the race goes! Air in the tires or pounds of fuel changes as you go! Put those two to work for you! Some even consider the oil in the shocks but I don't go that far and never had too with little movement! Keep in mind keeping a second line packed in for passing high or low on the last few laps! The same as to you set up range changing to run better in both and not the middle! The transfer during the race changes as you loose fuel weight but increases with tire pressure! Keep this in mind before cooling your tires or keeping them hot! A near end of race caution can make or break a well thought set-up! The lead I add LL&R Does a bit extra as to this transfer ratio also! No dead weight at all when providing a winning set-up at the end of the race! You never even notice the slow change as it is an improvement to the track fading away! A gain of left rear with a softer right with more trust angle to run high or low by how quick you have to turn and how much roll you get in the process! 25-50 pounds of transfer can become more with leverage of non compliance elsewhere! It gets back to good use of more caster as to where the twist and movement can occur with the left rear loaded with that same old (un-dead) static weight!!! Drivability on the last lap to pass 4 cars if needed while they hold their line high or low is a snake action in passing at full throttle! You may see some merit in feeling safer in your car to do so if you can see all the issues at hand???
