Tec tips by Tmez! Only one race on the weekend I thought it would be cool to go over the Sprintcar and some of the basics on how we tune it. I talk a little bit about basic, set up and take a closer look at the Sprintcar. There is so much more to cover, but this is the basics. We hop in the studio and I talk about what’s to come this weekend as always thanks for watching and don’t forget to like and subscribe!

Tmex been watching and getting the results of you for a few years out of Cali. I live in Oregon. If you look at my name I have wingless car from 2009 to 2014 or so in Oregon and Elma WA. I have done everything on a sprint car but drive and I'm a little big in the tummy. LOL I love watching someone who knows how a sprint car works. And can tell you in simple terms. Keep up the videos.

100% a different world when compared to asphalt. One question about terminology. When you say, "stick the right rear", are you talking about loading the LR so the RR stays gripped up for drive off or do you mean the literal loading of that right rear tire? Thanks for the vid, I hope you do a lot more of these, maybe going more in depth on each specific aspect of the sprint car setup.

Loading the rr. If you can stick the right rear on a sprint car, it will almost not slide on entry but halfway through the corner it will want to start over rotate off.

Hey Tmez, thanks for the video. Shocks have always been something I never understood that well in sprint car land just because of the way the vocabulary is specific to sprint cars. When someone refers to say a 6-4 shock, do those numbers mean anything specific? I know they refer to comp and rebound and the higher number means a higher damping rate, but does that number mean anything specific? Or is it all relative? Are the numbers you talk about in the video (x number of pounds on each corner) the force values generated by the shock at 3 in/s? Also, have you ever experimented with variable rate shocks? i.e. having different damping rates in high speed and low speed compression or rebound.
@tmezTv
@tmezTv Жыл бұрын
Your correct. 6/4 would be 6 on compression 100 pounds of force at 3” and a for on rebound would be maybe 60 of rebound. Each company has their own range of numbers referencing to the single digit numbers.

Great job Tmex. Thank you so much. But I'd like to ask you one question. Why the small left and large right rear tires? I used to think it was to load the left side of the car. But now I think it maybe for a rear steer kind of effect to help in the turns.

Yeah it’s stagger. Pushes you around the corner. You use more ( larger RR) at a flat banked track and less ( smaller RR ) at a banked track

Stagger only works when you are on the throttle. Think of a paper cup, large up top, small on the bottom. Lay it on it's side it will go in a circle.
@tmezTv
@tmezTv Жыл бұрын
Definitely we start with 11 inches of stagger and typically race on about eight or nine if it is slick so you are indeed correct without the small left rear tire of the car would not turn because straight axle no differential spool

So you like to run right rear weight, not many do. Also instead of adding weight on the corner by putting turns in, I find it better to put a stiffer bar in that corner and keep the car straight off the setup blocks. Also you can preload the bar just with a shock, if you are holding the car down with a tie down shock, it loads the bar and helps to keep the load on a linear scale, keeping the tire driving into the track.
