handling issue on dirt

[Racinjj]

LF           RF
4"            4-1/8"
LR           RR
4-3/8"   4-1/2"

The biggest issue I have is keeping the RR tire from busting my fender when I hit the cushion.  I used to run a little lower but I have raised it up a bit to try and save my fender and running board on teh right side.  If your track is smooth and slick I would run what you do on asphalt.

I just gotta say thanks to everyone on here....Thanks for all the posts!  I have a bead lock and ran 9 lbs in it....on a real bumpy track too!  But I don't think it helped to run quite that low....like stated  it changes your spring rate in the tire....testing still in progress, I'll post more info as I get it.

The thing with running to low of air pressure on the right rear with a bead lock is this..... the side wall flexes under way to much... then coming outa the corner it springs back out.  Seams to make the cara bit loose coming out.  Our tires are not created for dirt.  If we were running hoosiers then it would be a different story.  Still think the bead lock is a great piece of insurance policy though.... I hate driving 200 miles to blow a bead 2 laps into the feature then go home.  Like Batzer said "testing still in progress".

We raced on dirt for the first time in our legends Sat. We left one of my cars with asphalt set up the other we tried several setups we ended up with a pair of 150 on both sides of rear. Both cars with 2 diff. setups were loose fron apex to straight with no forward bite. What can be done are is this normal on dirt.

Dirt cars tend to be loose. Lack of grip because of the spec tire. Read through some of the old threads on dirt set up, that should help you with ideas how to tighten your car up.
What track are you racing at? We have members from all over that may be able to help!

Hi Joey,

Post what you have to sell in the For Sale section. You might also want to post a schedule and links to the speedways in our Track Announcement section.
We have a couple of guys that run at Monroe. As I am a pavement guy, Monroe looks like a very fun place! Talk Knuclebuster into joining in on the fun!

Joey,
Compared to pavement, on dirt you will not have much grip to work with coming out of the turns, especially on a dry slick track.

Will adjusting pinon angle make any differance with it being a solid bar?

Do a search on this site for the pinion angle threads.  There is a lot of good information on how to set them for dirt.  The more pinion angle, the better.
