ET Consistency

[Joe DeMarzo]

Andy, control is an illusion. Drive/race how you are comfortable. Some like to chase, some like a clean tree and others like playing the finish line. Develope your program, learn by watching, talk to others and then make your own decisions based on how you are comfortable racing. Some past world champs drove slower cars. Stock comes down to car and driver. A division 1 proverb once told me "hit the tree, run the number and you are bullet proof". No excuses. Good luck and hope this helped.

Andy,

One of the best tools available today is the Luke Bogacki "This is bracket racing" web site. join the site and print off all the info. I think you will find it to be very enlightening. And do not let the web site title confuse you, the lessons are completely applicable to class racing.

And a word about your combination/consistency question, the better an engine can breath, the less it is affected by conditions. Of course, all combinations change with the weather, it is a matter of learning your car. Luke will help with that.

Personally, after years of experience, I like a chassis [speaking of stockers] that has leaf springs and uses the Cal-Trac system.

Again, after years of experience, I do not like a chassis with rear control arms and coil springs.

These are my thoughts from experience.
