do folks around here calculate Ideal corner weights
we always do and usually can get within 1lb on each corner.. but I see everyone posting cross weights and no mention of calculated ideal weights... for those that don't you should really look into doing it. brant |

Something to consider is the track where the racing will take place and what direction the turns are and are there any long ones such as NASCAR turns 1 and 2 at CA Speedway or NASCAR turns 3 and 4 at PIR or turns 8 and 9 at Willow Springs. If you are loosing time when the car does not feel solid and you let off and loose time then a slight jacking of the weight and outside wheels might help. We used to do this at CA Speedway and actually setup the car loaded towards the left and I could keep the pedal floored and actually take a drink, check all the gauges and talk to the wife on the radio through #1 and #2.
