Re: Question about setup
Hey! It sounds to me like you have way too much stagger in the front and not enough in the back. I don't know exactly what my tire cercumference is, but I talked with my dad and he suggested that you run about 1" stagger in the front and 2.5" stagger in the back to start with. If you are still pushing, then try adding some more LF brake. Without knowing what kindof spring and shock package you've got, I would start there. See if that helps any and keep me posted.
Dad does a real good job with my set-up. He just watches me and knows what to do. I don't have to tell him much unless I do something that gets the car out of whack!!!
By the way, how have you been running down there at Union County? I have only been to watch down there once and that was for the Big Dawg last year. I haven't ever run there.
Well I hope those suggestions work for you! Let me know!

Re: Question about setup
the track has been very tempermental. one week dry as a bone and slick, the next week soupy muddy wont pack down. this year has been an adventure. i had carberator issues the first week, rolled a RR beadlock another week, just the normal stupid stuff. just have fought the snowplowing of the front end mid corner. Thank you for some ideas. May the force be with you.

Re: Question about setup
Hang in there! We have been bitten by the bad luck fairy too! I have torn the front end off my car 3 times this year. I am just praying that I can finish the year out with out any more major issues!
As far as set-up, we run at Bloomington and Lincoln Park Speedways. We don't change much of anything between tracks. LPS can be back-and-forth on the track consistency as well. We try to work with the car rather than concentrating on the track as much.
Good Luck!!!!
