Chassis Setup  06/07

When you are setting up your new car - Check:

Squareness of axles; Lead in front axle; Tow out (F. axle)

Tire Pressure: Front (5#LF - #7 RF) Rear (#8 LR  - #8 RR)

 Stagger ???? #5 ST.

 Using setup blocks on F&R:

Touch  jack bolts on rear and put 1 1/2 in to left rear bar,

1/2 turn in right rear bar.

Coils on front:Touch coils,take 5 turns out of right front,

take 3 turns out of left front.

                             Remember

All settings are intended to be used as a starting point and will need to be adjusted to each drivers individual driving style and the feel you want to achieve.

Making changes in one area at a time will help you understand what you did and how it affected your race car

Chassis adjustments can produce an effect that is opposite of what is desired if the adjustment is taken too far.

                     Keep records

Building a database of accurate records of changes and results can help to eliminate continual trial and error. A good record of track information can lead to greater results if used properly.

                         Remember

KNOW YOUR CAR!!??

Ignorance and laziness are the most common reasons of poor performance. Setting around in the pitts talking, crapping your pants, fantasizing your next move or recreating the wheel will get your ass kicked every time Take a day or a week off to learn the parts of your car and how it's set-up and how it actually works. Other racers with the same type of car can't help you with your car if you don't have a clue what you have and hopefully it will not rub off on them.
