I'll try to make the long story short...er. I raced hobby stock for 3 years. Bought a legend 2 years ago but was only able to go to one race. I had to skip last summer because we experienced a flood. Yes, It was bad, but I saved my house (sort of), and my race cars.
I am an evil high school math teacher and have been accused of over analyzing suspension geometry
Anyway, in the one race I did go to, I learned that I need to drive different, then I read a post by the gimpster talking about lowering the cross and driving in harder. That is how I like to drive...
This is what I have 200-LF, 225-RF, 200-LR, and 180-RR. I can't remember the air pressure, will have to check my notes. I was thinking about putting the 180 on the LR and going to a 160 on the RR. I also thought I would drop the car as low as legal, and do the following LF+2.5 camber, +2 caster, RF-3.0 camber, +3 caster - Shorten the right side wheelbase by about 1/4 to compensate for rear steer and push the right side tires as far to the right as legal (and move left side tires toward the centerline). I was thinking about setting it up 51% left side, 51% rear, and 52% cross (static). But now I am more interested in gimpster's setup. I want to be at the edge of legal. Oh, you should know that I weigh 225 and if I want to reduce my car weight I have to go on a diet. Probably not going to happen.
I understand how it all works together but I seriously lack the experiences of trying different things to really get a handle on this little race car.
In my hobby car, I drove in hard, let off the gas just before mid turn then got right back on it. I had that car setup well and won many races... It appears that many legend drivers (at my track) let off way early then slowly power up through the corners. Yes, I got passed at mid turn but it was a good night of racing. I didn't wreck, didn't spin out, and I didn't finish last.
Thanks for your help
Charles
