In a way, you're lucky to have learned through the hard knocks school of technology and smart enough to use new technology such as the chassis set up systems you showed. But, it's no wonder in the modern era that big money teams hire graduate engineers to figure set ups. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us fans of racing.

Oh Great Wizard, now, tell the attentive class about the old Pogo Stick to know your corner weights at the track. I watched a great legend roll into a track after chasing points four states away the night before. He ran like a tub of shit in the qualifier - they got there late and ran the setup that was in the car from the night before. Then he did his magic. Completely put a new setup in - springs, shocks, set ride height - and then out came the Pogo Stick. 30 lap feature against the best of them and he takes down the win!

For the front shocks can’t you use a spring smasher to see where your front shocks are at for loads.

So if you have a 3 link how do you set one of them up without scales in the rear since we use sliders and not coil overs well some or us use sliders very few coil overs.

@boosted74m2 2 ай бұрын

How often do you end end up tightening the rebound a click or 3 ( assuming you have the ability yo adjust rebound and compression)when you add 1/2 or full turn because it causes the shock to top out unloading the chassis?

@bkirby86 8 ай бұрын

Herm the dot has portable scales that you slide them under the front of your wheels all you have to do is drive up on the scales and there only they weigh just like your scales .the thing is they weigh only 20 to 25 pounds get you a set of them to carry with you they carry them in there trunk of there cars if you looking for portable sales .just thought you was looking for a travling set of 4

Flashbacks to '89 or so......Helping out a local late model father n son "team" set up the car via those grain scales!! Jack it up, adjust shock, place grain scale under tire, let car down, give the car a little shake, driver sitting on door sill and see what it is. Nope, not right, repeat process. Ugggg

@KennyWallace36 NASCAR really lost my interest some years ago when they came out with just too much technology on the car. Racers is always going to be Racers whether we're racing or not. I think many of us want to come out and watch you run that dirt car, then go to a NASCAR race, no bulshit.

It’s not a new thing. Drivers have been calculating Spring loads for decades utilizing a Tape measure and math. Yes it can be done without a smasher because it’s math. A smasher is just easier. There’s still good reason to utilize scales with spring loads. In fact a car can be just as quick if you set up with scales the old way. As long as you understand the car dynamically.

I work on tour type modifieds. we pull the axle out just enough to get it free of the spine because when you roll the car forward and back after each adjustment the stagger will Bind everything up, including including the scales.

love the racers that get all uptight about their setups and refuse to help anyone act like jerk offs when asked for help you get things like "get outta here, who u tryin to help? and those are the same racers that wine and complain they cant win... videos like this make those racers very mad and they are only mad at them selfs cause htey suck
