Randomly came across this video today. Ray is my grandfather, pretty wild to see this.

it was a good choice of using Bobby Allison's and Dale Earnhardt's ASA cars for this video in the late 80s

I grew up watching and racing at the one of the racetracks most of Ray's designs were developed and tested at. South Bend Motor Speedway. Ray spent many a Friday night turning laps in Super Modifieds and Late Models there. I still race there.

Wow. No experience here on my end. Bought a sport modified. This video is amazing as to fine tuning and how to do it. Thank you so very, very much for taking your time and doing this.

The car in this video is Dale Earnhardt's ASA car. I made it for iRacing on their Super Late Model... Very cool to see it here.

All us short trackers back then only wish we had access to vids like this of Mr. Ray Dillion himself, a STOREHOUSE of chassis knowledge back in in the 80's & early 90's. (Not just anybody had access unless you were Mark Martin or a customer.)

@seanriley6041 Жыл бұрын

This is the chassis that he developed with Mark martin and put him from building traikers to racecars full time as told in marks podcast. Super cool listen for those race needs put there. He talks about how they built and tested then mark won like 3 Asa championships in this chassis

Yepp now everybody has figured out how to coil bind the springs and use the sway bar like its a torsion bar

BBSS and coilbind is a bandaid fix for poor design and setup. Now we got bumpstops and shocks that cost a fortune and cars that need tires every week

do you unload the spring weight before weighing

about shocks, when he says 95s on the back, that means 9 rebound stiffnes and 5 compression stiffnes ? ?

@youknoweverything7643 3 жыл бұрын

No for carrera shocks 9 is the length of the shock travel and 5 means it a 5 compression

tAmEz ZoDiAc this is pretty much general physics, you can apply this to any kind of Motorsport really but the settings all vary depending on the car. Newer and updated chassis run newer technologies and use different numbers, but it’s all fundamentally the same.

@kb3tus Жыл бұрын

It'll get you close but not close enough. Today's gazillion dollar shock and spring setups are different

@ClemonsFamilyRacing Жыл бұрын

The concepts apply for sure. Things are a lot different than in the 80s but it's a great start.

@seanriley6041 7 ай бұрын

This is great stuff for simple late model stock like that they run at stafford speedway or anything less limited, street stock thisnstuff is gold for that. The numbers will need to change for different cars and tracks needs
