The rear ride height would be set as low as possible, as this would raise the rear moment center and lower the CG to reduce the rear roll angle versus the front roll angle to help balance the setup. 0000061173 00000 n

3:45pm and it was time for drivers briefing for the 15 v8 dirt modified drivers in attendance. When the LF is hiked up considerably, we lose any front downforce that we might have enjoyed, as a great deal of air comes under the raised LF spoiler and we lose most of our front grip. left front set up stand 4.125" mfg: bicknell racing products. 0000069719 00000 n

Now softer tires can be used with some siping. We can now begin to soften the setup somewhat and change the RF spring to an 800-pound (rated) spring or remove the RF full spring rubber and replace it with a half rubber. The moisture is evaporating off the first inch of material, and there will be less available grip without the surface becoming overly slick. Dry, a condition in which the top layer is now drying out and losing material in the form of sand: 0.9 to 1.1 g's (loss of grip is now getting substantial, and the car will not turn well or get bite off the corners. 0000056802 00000 n

Racers of all classes are getting smarter by the year, and getting to the front is a matter of staying on top of the most current technology.
