Need to stop overworking right rear(Dave, Steve, Jim??)

Guys,
I am running a 1/4 mile oval with tight corners and decent banking. The car is super fast for 5-7 laps and then it just starts to slide off the right rear. If a caution comes out my son can drive on the cooler part of the track and let the tires cool donw and then she is good again for 5-7 laps before she starts sliding. I will be glad to PM you guys my numbers and let me tell you what you think I should do. Let me know.
Thank,
Slim

First thought is to go down a pound in the right rear at the start. Could be building pressure to the point of unsettling the car.
Better to start off with 5-7 bad laps and have the car come to you, than to start off well and lose it in my opinion

Just a thought, are you sure your rear end is square.... My car did this exact same thing for 4 weeks and we kept chasing it.... Come to find out the rear was 1/2" out of square.....fixed that and made a world of difference. I think the rear tires could only keep up with each other for about 5-7 laps, then it went real, real loose....

I've been fighting that same problem. I know the rears square (i always check it every week) and i've tried taking a pound out of the right rear. It sometimes helps a little but doesn't seem to help alot, i do wonder however if loosening it up getting into the corner might help it off?

Depends on your definition of "overworking"

It is a little hard to help fix your issue without more info. The biggest thing i CAN SAY TO YOU GUYS RUNNING ASPHALT ON FEDS IS- LOWER YOUR CROSS WEIGHT. 45%

have to agree with Denis. Our home track was 50.5 cross and with the federals we are down to 46.
