  • In this Episode I finally was able to the the new Metric Frame Crate Racing USA Street Stock Down off the Jig. I threw some paint on and began bolting it together where we can get to the next phase which is hanging the body.

    I just want to tell you thank you for your videos. I raced on asphalt from the mid 80's to the mid 90's. Building cars was probably my favorite part next to driving. I enjoy your channel and the information that you show.

      Thank you sir, sounds like we are similar. I enjoy the off season just as much because that's when I can go after a lot of build ideas.

      @DIRTRACELIFE  3 місяці тому

      I do enjoy open wheel modifieds and if I ever was to climb out of a full fender car it would be 100% to go modified racing. I wish they could come back in the South like they were 20 years ago. . .

    Rustoleum with hardner added has worked well for us and thus far has withstood chipping from tracks with rock in the clay like Dixie & Rome Speedways.

  • @AudioWonderland
    @AudioWonderland 3 місяці тому +1

    Is it an advantage to have the weight lower in the car? I would think having it inside the wheels is preferable to on the tail for example. Trying to understand the engineering behind it all

    • @DIRTRACELIFE
      @DIRTRACELIFE  3 місяці тому

      There is a lot less grip in dirt than in asphalt. this is why you want the CG higher in a dirt car than a asphalt car. With less grip you have to be able to shift tire load more to make the car turn on throttle. And 100% always want to try and keep any ballast inside the 4 corners / spring locations. Weight hanging very far rearward may give you a good looking rear % number on the scales but it can be a real disaster on the track in how it wreck polar moment and take weight off the front. Lead is your friend. Much better to add more instead of moving a piece further out past the springs.
