Most want and need to be faster and feel safer about going faster! Control is a real factor with adding speed to any set-up out there! Anyone ever just hot lapping one of my set-ups were amazed at its smoothness and drivability not to mention the free-ness of power it unleashed with out touching the motor! A few had to make a gear change to handle the added speed! If faster in the turns, the straights are too! We didn't win so many by me being a good driver! I never made a lap! I do other things well as a 35 year winning streak has proven it self! Even this past year! Being a know it all has its flaws and people skills is one of mine! I can't read your minds and give answers to un ask questions of need, although I have tried! If not willing to ask for more info or a second opinion as to how things work, or even to point out factors I missed in my post, we all are at the mercies of our own risk! No wizard here but a older guy that has been there and done that before! If not getting my post or if you are in doubt of changing, look at those you made in the last year! Are you faster now or did everyone else get faster too? Did you learn a few tricks or just change more parts? A good understanding of any set-up is only as good as that set-up! Knowing a good setup when ruling out troublesome factors and getting to the point of origins first designed into it working is only by the questions ask about it! QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!! Put some input in to get some out or argue a point until sense is made from it! Most things are more simple with more input! Have we covered it all yet??? --- Well,---- let us do it again until it helps or a better more understandable answer is reached! ASK ALL YOU WANT OR NEED!!! Messaging has worked for some to win or be faster this year!

Ever watch yourself race? Most drivers are good to me, its the chassis that needs work! If not your own crew chief, get them involved! Give your wife a shot at understanding a better way! Make sense of your way of getting it done! Shut-up and drive was designed just for me I think sometimes! I have been told many of times that I cannot tell what a car is doing unless by asking the driver! A loss in translation or description can be off a bit if counting on their or your opinions alone! Increase your input to narrow your outlook!

Ever wonder why you don't have more control of your car on the track like you do on the highway? Ever ask your self or others how to get there? It was easy for me to see that most are just too radical with their setup! One thing can over-power all the rest to make others seem at fault! It doesn't take much rear steer or if in reverse to turn easily so steer is not a factor of extreme needed! It must be equal traction that most are searching for by extremes when a little rear percent by well placed lead can solve most traction problems! The high horse power usage with out the lack of control of timing can dictate the application to the point of looking for extremes! Most want more than use of both can handle! All I ever heard was don't add weight or kill my horses to be faster! A compromise of both by better transfer of pounds and a temporary max power loss, yields upgrades of both in a faster lap! All the rest that makes it more drivable without extremes to deal with is just the trophy on top of the car!

Good news guys!!!!!- Most just think I'm nuts so if you get-it, you will have an advantage of being faster like never before! A few did this past year!!! One took it to the limit and won the next 3 out of five races with a close 2nd his first night out and a 3rd from the rear! A open mind is the best advantage you can have!!! It took about 3 weeks to convert doing it all himself! You have to be proud of those with faith to put that much work into a sure thing! Not too shabby for North central US racing where the cars are said to be faster than in the south!!! I DID NOT SAY THAT!!! Not hard to change after nothing else worked to win if the quest is in your heart!

STEP UP AND BE FASTER-- Give your chassis an advantage on the track! Some of you guys probably thought I was talking about hitting the three wheel brakes to make it turn or running too loose and trying to recover! ---Not a chance--- Although we started out that way, keeping the car straighter was faster! No problem winning with that, it just had too many track factors to deal with by having to adjust or change to fit the track! Most still do with so much unknown factors in their chassis! Get back to the core and set it up in the first stage of control! No its not driver choice but the springs that holds him up! Start with his weight added to the mix of the race ready car! Not quite but you have to start some where! Lean in ride heights after weight placement of all movable factors to the left or rear down low! Wheel offsets and air psi. decided by logical choices as no factors but clearance and advantage in mind of spares and roll out! |

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!--- Enough in my left rear to cover the season and room on my plate a for dessert and a reason! A left turn at the end of my straight and traction on demand with out the weight! A wheel in the air that is not my own and horses galore that's bad to the bone! To be in fourth place with two laps to go, a guy needs a chance when his wishes run low! A steering that knows no difference by its thrust in pounds and a trophy girl that kisses better than my old hounds! A crew that stays merry all year around and a wife who thanks God when you race out of town! Not asking for much as naughty as I am, just asking incase Santa is not really a scam! This year is most over and I did my best to help others win a few, Are you ready yet with info in full re-view?---- ------MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL!!! and have a safe new season!!!

Guest---- You need to jump right in and give me a bit to consider from your point of view! It is easy for a old-guy like me to miss a point or two in making it plain!!!

Harmonics! It applies in life as in engines and web sites! I fear a black hole is headed this way with a yellow streak on it! MEMBERS AND GUEST---GET INVOLVED IN DISSCUSIONS even if its the best color for a race car! I am partial to yellow as to the speed of light reflection! No trouble seeing it on the track when filming!!! We have proven this color to be faster in our area for years! It sets with in a radiant bubble and tends to travel easier! Dirt even doesn't hardly mar its shine on the track as it reflects in all directions! I will use any edge I believe in to win! NOW--WERE DID I PUT THOSE MAGNETS?  ?? Don't laugh just yet unless you have done the research or improved you fuel mileage as I have! Is use of HYDROGEN cheating??? Still laughing, well--- better hit those books because its a stronger blast and simple as spit!!! We need more postings on this site!!!!!! Use it or loose it but don't cheat your self out of it!!! |

Its all the little things in life that counts like just saying hello or the kind of oil or grease used to do a free moving chassis, the air in your tires, the caster in your ft. end setting, the few more pounds of low left rear percent for better transfer to get left rear on demand, the softer shock in the right place for easy transfer to the left rear first to handle those extra horses you found just grazing around on your lap times! Just stop and consider the friendliness of what you receive back from your ride with a little more forethought in simplicity that eases it on its way! Less binding by roll out (1/2 inch works for me with the right drive when rolled over) down the straights, keeping your car under you in the corners so that air does not restrict movement! Less spoiler to create even more drag at more than just corner speeds by using lead for rear percent and getting percentage more with transfer leverage! Keeping a waxed shinny car that flows easily with no loose ends or bends, by making sure air gets out of the cockpit easier than it got in, having more air in the tires to ensure your stager stays in place, by having some slack in your brake caliper mounts and wheel or axle end-play to back the brakes off sooner, even down to the top lube in your fuel to lessen friction! So many little things like the cool temps that boost expansion rates, 2 degrees more timing after rejeting upwards, unlocking the timing to derive at a more reasonable on the floor racing, by running a vacuum advance of a blocked 10 degrees to keep it from loading up at idle or in the corners, by having enough gear to let that ole nag to run free! And by all means, don't forget to kiss your wife more often than the trophy girls!!!

STEP UP AND BE FASTER-- Give your chassis an advantage on the track! Friends to the rescue!!! Three cars now back to the track soon! Two in the same class so as to at least to have some completion between our drivers! I love it that way, it keeps me on my toes and the only fair thing to do to prove we can be out run legally!!! LOL--- GO LEFT MY FRIENDS!!! Some new motor and tire rules are welcomed by us with no fear of not winning! We would like a little more challenge!!! New rules in all classes it seems! Les play ball---
