part 3
Total car weight with lard simulator = 3060 pounds
Weight bias is 43% front 57% rear. To counter that I have added a big
spoiler...
The last item was how much the caster weight transferred.. While I
could not measure the front wheels in the as turned condition, I did
measure the rear corners when the fronts were turned from one lock to
the other.
Full left turn RR = 900 # for an increase of 30 #
Full right turn LR = 900 # for an increase of 40 #
Does that castigate caster? Should we ban caster forever? Nah, YMMV, lol.
I did learn that short stiff cars are the very dickens to mess with. I
learned tha tI know next to nothing about setting up a race car for the
salt. It can be a frustrating experience. I hope like hell that I am
done with it, lol....
I do wan tto say that it rolls realy really easy. A one hand push in the
shop. And that not much force applied at all.
Comments? Questions?
mayf
end of story...
