Anyone want to share a 1/4 mile dirt det up? Are you running a stiffer spring on the rt rear than the left?

This setup worked for me at 1/4, 1/3, and 4/10 mile tracks flat and banked. 

Springs:
185    200
165    145

50.0 - 51.0% cross weight

Tire Pressures:
9psi    14psi
9psi    14psi

You can swap the rear springs rates if you prefer a looser car.

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. Racecar upside down is expensive.

If you lighten just the rr the car should be tighter on corner exit, and if you lighten just the left rear, the car should be looser on exit.
