  • This is the first night of the 2023 Southern Street Stock Nationals, a Ultimate Street Stock Challenge Race being hosted by Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian Ms. We started out with a car that was too free and needed adjustment to get better lap times. We made several changes including changing out the Left Front shock, adding preload to the left rear chain, and tightening up the left front chain.

    Decreasing lf rebound is going to free you more.
    Next time you’re on scales, chain the car at ride height. Check bite
    Chain the car below ride height. Check bite
    The lower the lf ride height, the more lr bite. Rebound in a shock just decreases average ride height.
    This is why you thought you needed to bring LR bite back up after that run. Whoever does the best job managing wedge(cross) has the best car.

      I put the rebound shock back on the lf. Yep, it helped last night. I am listening bud and appreciate your insight.

      @@DIRTRACELIFE glad that worked. All about wedge man. All these cars are so close because they’re all really close on springs and shocks. Just gotta tune wedge better than them.
      Which isn’t really that hard to do, many of them can’t tune it effectively yet without going the “wrong way” sometimes

    More left rear gona make you freer getting in ? I think I would go to the right front if you looking for drive ?

    • @DIRTRACELIFE
      @DIRTRACELIFE  11 місяців тому +3

      Yes, I agree, I needed to come up some on the left rear but found out how much too much was. Thinking your right Dana. If I need more I'll jack it into the front.

      Sure wished I was there. Worked out there years back, and that was always a super event. Sure hope you brought your state flag. That's always awesome. Everyone on the track with their flags flying!
      I think you're on track with the handle. It will end up taking rubber. So account for that.
      Best of luck sir.

    That was a good video I left my buddy borrow my car 2 weeks ago cuz he tore his up real bad first night in it miss the heat but started 23rd in the feature got up to 8 th last weekend he got seventh in the feature and we think need just a little bit more bite off the corner so think we're going to try what you did see if that helps us a little but good info buddy have a good weekend

      @DIRTRACELIFE  11 місяців тому

      It's better, when I drove it, I could tell it was really planting the RR. I am going a bit further now and going to a 225RR and 175LR. We will see

      633 gear, tonight I was able to get it hooked into the track at time and it spun to 7200 which is right where I want this engine. But hard to get the car to hook in with all this engine on that short gear.
