Spin Control Question

Ron Gusack · 08-14-2012, 10:27 AM

I think the thing here is the quality of the track prep. I've been on tracks that will not allow me to twist my foot with tearing an ACL. This track feels nothing like that 90% of the time. Many of these guys spray some juice after they leave in order to run the number without spinning. My 60's last Saturday were:
1.494 at 5:50pm
1.430 at 6:31
1.395 at 7:48
1.467 at 8:57
1.399 at 9:59
1.629 at 10:31
The last pass I was in deep, so some of the 1.629 was due to that, but it spun real bad that run.

With all that said, I can believe the car isn't right. In fact, the front is too low or the back is too high to get good weight transfer. I just don't get how it can be so inconsistent if the car is the problem. One run the wheels are up and the next run it feels like my *** is on a vibrator.

The suspension is:
Calvert 90/10's and Santhuff uncut, light springs
Rancho adjustables, mono leaf with sliders and ladder bars

Here's a pass from a year ago when it felt decent. Left at 3,000 I think.

Alan told me a year ago to get rid of the small front tires, but the tall tires will hit the fender bad on turns. This track requires some U turns to get on and off of it. I'm planning to lower the back.
