Byron,
Right, the front/rear relative stiffness is the key to getting balanced handling. That's the easy part. I'll be able to get whatever I build to handle well by adjusting weight percentages, etc. If by "is it a kit?", you mean did I buy plans and materials from someone, then no. I designed the chassis, bought the tubing, then cut, notched, and welded it together. Seems like I once noticed a "chassis rigidity" variable buried in ISI's F12XXX .ini files. Although, maybe I just dreamed that... Maybe there is, and I can just compare that value to the wheel rate in the INI file. Thanks for the idea! I'll check it out. |

Stock Car Racing Magazine did a series by Sleepy Gomez (apologize if spelled
wrong) that covered this in a neat and clear way. Was this spring I think. Either way Mr. Gomez is, IMHO, a set-up genius/guru and his test rig would really work for this cart test.
