When will the rule book be out and how do i get a copy
before Bonneville where I usually buy one. Living in CT it's
not like a copy is at the local Barnes & Noble,
Is there anyone willing to explain the a-arm legality and
how it pertains to lakesters and streamliners? I have asked
questions and gotten 1 word responses. maybe telling me not
to ask the question at all. I have been working out some
suspension ideas for a car that involves a-arms and
independent front suspension and independent rear
suspension. These will be sprung with coil over shocks. Will
also be of robust construction similar to Nascar and Indy
car stuff as we have not decided on spindles yet. Are there
any reasons why this construction method is a problem? If so
please state what is legal and what is not and if any
difference for lakester or streamliner.
I can understand why things should be built to stand the
stresses and was not thinking of anything super lightweight
or unsprung. I was hoping to introduce technology that has
been available since the 40's though..
I was also hoping to build a suspension that is adjustable
in respect to roll centers to affect the handling and forces
involved both lateral and vertical.
I am also hoping to avoid all the problems with handling
related to straight axles and be able to isolate any wheel
disturbances to the corner of the car rather than the entire
end of the car.
If you find this question offensive please just hit the
delete key...
