Most cars run very little negative camber straight from the factory. Disconnect the front and stiffen the crap out of the rear has always been the mantra for front-wheel drive set up, and for good reason: It workskinda. ACP: Its kind of an open secret that they do that with the rear brakes on the Focus ST. Select spring sets lower car as noted. Cancelled - 4/29/23 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing. Pedal inputs and steering inputs need to be gradual and progressive to avoid upsetting the balance and causing the car to get out of shape. Once in a corner, the forces on the car are great enough to flex the suspension and substantially decrease the amount of camber on the wheel. The racing line is the route a racing driver follows to take corners in the fastest possible way. Franklin: You've got to keep it loaded on the springs more. What I'm curious about is what front spring rates are recommended. Also please expand your choice to intalling a different model Honda engine into a Civic,,, such as installing a bigger engine from a Accord or Integra,,. CT: How do you drive a car that's way too tight? If your front inside wheel hits it at speed, you just might lose a little control and in the process lose speed. Increased pressure makes the tire stiffer, which in turn, increases effective spring rate. . This makes plate diffs the clear winner when used for a full-time, dedicated front-wheel drive track car. Cage must be electric welded. And he has some advice. The tires can be changed to more of a street performance tread with slightly lower pressures. We could raise the rear ride height an inch or so to be ready if the track begins to dry out some and affect bite off the corner. Eckert: Once you get racing there is not a lot you can do. Run a higher pressure in all of the tires. street or racing tires? We should soften the shock rates all around so that the "shock" to the tires will be reduced as the car transitions going into the turns and accelerates off the corner. If you have a high-quality performance tire, you make that circle bigger. Remove the entire interior, you don't want to leave anything that could catch fire when you start welding. The goal is to try to keep the car loaded so it doesn't get free. Pumping up the rear rubber and hitting the front tires with more negative camber can boost your cars cornering abilities, but dont forget to modify that variable in the drivers seat. Running camber in that range will allow the tire to lay completely flat in the corner, giving it the biggest contact patch and the maximum amount of grip. Well, you could if you had caster higher than the 10-15 degrees of SAI your car may have. That being said, if your car is suffering from terminal understeer, getting rid of the front bar will definitely help. Five years ago wed be able to pull a few fuses or sensors and be able to override it, but its gotten to the point where its extremely hard, and all the cars now are CAN-BUS wired. Others are far more involved and only make sense for dedicated race cars. So that allows you to have more acceleration, more braking, and more lateral load at the same time. A FWD oval track race car, like most other oval track or road racing cars, should be as near 50%-50% front-to-rear weight distribution as possible. Perhaps jacking the rear inside up making it looser is why this is so common for people to add caster on a front wheel drive car? FRONT WHEEL DRIVE RULES. Throughout an event, most dirt tracks change surface characteristics, some in a dramatic way. More importantly, it increases spring rate at the point of contact with the road. Which Model, engine type, trans type and Year HONDA would you build and WHY? For now, use a stiffer (RR) spring with a high Panhard bar mounted on the right side for consistency. Dry slick, a condition in which the track has lost considerable moisture and is now very dry and slick with little grip: 0.7 to 0.9 g's (The cars are now very slow in getting into and through the turns, and traction under power is very low. If you have a choice, run tires with large grooves such as the all-terrain types for mud and snow. Now is the time to find some help. Use the data you have for your tyres or use the table above to get you going. I don't think enough people think for themselves to actually test and find out (and it certainly is a pain to do, so I understand it).

No aftermarket racing heads. 1. Slows down the rear wheels, and allows the car to rotate around. So based on that, your front struts are DIRECTLY tied to how far over the body rolls. You can try to drag brake a little into the corners so you don't have to get all the way out of the throttle and help keep the suspension loaded up. You just got to know what your strengths are and try to make the most of them. OEM steel unaltered floor pan only. 5. Learn some helpful tips for using your tire groover as well as what direction to cut your grooves and sipes for maximum side bite and forward bite on your dirt circle track race car. It's just the way God intended it. No more than 5 degrees camber on any wheel. On a track that has good moisture and is smooth, the car will be easy to control going through the turns and the speeds will be high. Once the track has hardened, it will quickly continue to change toward black and then to slick.

Between dealing with braking, cornering and acceleration forces, the front tires really do have their hands full in any given corner. Includes all mounting hardware. Don't worry about the LR since it has little effect on handling. Just for the simple fact that you are losing traction and trying to find the forward bite while working to keep the rear tires underneath you all at the same time. They need to be rolling with not a lot of slippage, especially when the track is slick. Soft driving seems slow, but the alternative is always slower. Everything behind you, in fact, everything behind the engine, thats just details. You need to learn as much about them as you can. Properly executed trail-braking shifts weight from the rear of the car to the front, increasing grip on turn-in. No transmission coolers in driver compartment. The front springs will always be the stiffest. If your tires are pointed toward each other then they are toed in and visa versa. There is only one way to stop a severe pushy or loose car, and that is to lift off the throttle. If you don't fancy running through all the above set-up work then you can download the special Traxion drift edition of the Ibishu BX 200. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Engine and radiator must be OEM, in OEM location for year, make and model of car used. ACR hubs and bearings should be replaced after 12 on track hours. > When adding lead to a FWD racer, where should the weight go? FYI, I run 4.25 deg negative camber in the front and 2.25 negative camber in the rear. You can overdrive it a little bit to compensate. For Springport, you can install the commonly available 1.06 transfer gears and run fast. Please share more info on your FWD chassis setups,,. Likewise, the heavier the front of the car is, the softer the front springs should be, especially the right front spring. Unfortunately for the driver, tires are only able to do so many tasks at once before their limits are exceeded. No performance chips. Fire retardant neck brace, gloves and shoes required. From spartan speeway web site.POSTED BY. Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 09:54 am: -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------. I just assumed you weren't listening while I was ranting and raving about suspension theory. Suddenly, youre asking the front tires to not only take the lateral loads but to pull you forward. HS: We can now soften the right-side springs, or pull out all of the spring rubbers. If a vehicle is of the front-wheel drive variety, then all of the power made by the engine gets to the ground via the two front wheels. If you can't fit it in there, then it should still stay on the left side as much as possible. do not allow locked final dirves ,,like your class does. And lots of bonkers stuff. CT: How hard is it to make the switch from Crate Late Models to Supers? McDowell is currently both an active driver as well as running his own driving school, where he spends a lot of time helping young racers to find more success from the driver's seat. Glad we here in Michigan helped out a little, How well do the Neons run against Hondas at your track? To be able to control the car, we need much stiffer springs and a more balanced setup front to rear. Buy a good fire suit and a "S" Rated Helmet and Go Racing. Racing karts are single-seat vehicles that can reach speeds up to 160 mph but the typical dirt track kart usually reaches speeds ranging from 30 to 50 mph.

All engine components must be OEM unaltered for year, make and model of car used. Now the very best thing to do, of course, is to increase the size of that friction circle. No high performance or sports car engines of any kind. EXHAUST: Exhaust manifold must be unaltered, OEM for year, make and model of car used. What makes these various conditions so hard on our setups is that the g-forces are changing along with the declining availability of grip as the track begins to dry out and go slick. On stock front-wheel drive cars without camber plates, a couple of degrees of negative camber is the most you can hope to get within the stock shock mount. We will now soften the LF spring to a 750, the RF spring to a 650, the RR spring to a 150, and move all of the moveable weight to the right side and higher up. to the fact that my car gets around the track faster thanks to Nick Holt. The studs bite better when pushed into the ice with camber vs scratching across it. All rights reserved. Frank: When it is slippery, if you are on the brakes too hard or on the gas too hard, all you are doing is sliding the car. Exactly opposite of what a rear wheel drive car should be. What this means is you either want a softer swaybar or no swaybar at all in the front. 4-cylinder Front Wheel Drive normally aspirated engine. Our intent was to provide some thoughts on making changes to the basic setup that might improve the car and make each phase better. Share your tips and tricks on how to get your car fast! Sleepy Trip, tech writer from Stock car magazine has his own web site, he is building a NEON to race in Florida, and has posted all the tech articals, http://www.ovaltrackdigest.com/article-directory.htm. I've auto-crossed FWD for decades and the most SOTP effect with more (positive) caster is steering feel as it relates to the self-centering effect, if both sides are equal. These rebound adjustable performance Struts will improve the handling and performance of your Neon. It locks up that wheel just a little bit, and that kicks the tail of the car around. Saturday, 24 June 2023. Most cars have some rust, you just don't want one that has rust HOLES. Experience suggests GM and Chrysler are the best cars to race with because the front suspension of both of them is adjustable for camber and the entire front suspension is mounted on a cradle. BODY/CHASSIS: Any front wheel drive, compact car with three or four cylinder engine. RCI and G force make some really good belt systems that are reasonably priced. Welcome to the internet home of Front Wheel Drive Circle Track Racing Podcast show is being worked on daily! For more info about rotating the car, check out the video Quick Tip here. LM: We can now begin to change the spring rates at the RF, RR, and LR. Nope. (Consider the Ford Focus ST.) It doesnt have a real (limited-slip differential), but like so many of these cars now, (it) uses an electronic brake distribution control (to simulate the effect of an LSD). Dirt track racing is the single most common form of auto racing in the United States. Those conversations were so enlightening that we decided to keep going. Good tires will make the difference in the way your car handles. This is the old Pony Stock "Speed Secrets and Tricks" message thread. No wheel spacers or bleeder valves. No speeding, no passing, no bumping; just drive around. TRANSMISSION: Must use OEM, unaltered transmission that came in year, make and model of car used. Passing becomes difficult because of the one-groove nature of the track. Look for some grit; just aim for places where it's not really shiny. Black slick, a condition in which the track still has enough moisture to keep the material packed, but has hardened and is taking rubber: 1.1 to 1.3 g's (becoming difficult entering and turning in the middle of the turns). Now that we have the car loose on corner entry, the driving style becomes what I like to call pitch and catch. You can pitch the car into the corner, and as the back end starts to come around, you catch it with the throttle. Camshaft package includes cam, front seal and cam lube. Interior must remain open. Front wheel drive is the wave of the future. Just ask the parts store for a frame mounted external fuel pump for an 89 F-150. OEM bumper covers must remain. LF = 350; RF = 325; LR = 200 (350 pounds swing arm); RR = 175 (325 pounds swing arm). I'm thinking that if you decrease caster / minimize it, it would have the effect of keeping the chassis flatter when turning. Maybe 2-4 degrees of negative camber for the RR. As the car rotates, it develops an aero force that acts like added traction. This is where car setup comes into play. LM: We can now. The back tires are just along for the ride. cars stripped of their interiors with a cage. Mr. Holt has been helping 4 cyl cars go faster since I first met him in the mid 70s.

Be sure to buy a seat that fits snug and holds you well. What can you do to make your car safer in a wreck? Here is a list of phases of grip that a dirt team might encounter on a typical race day, along with the associated estimated g-forces that the car might experience: 1. P5007314 Hub and Bearing Kit (199599 Neon ACR). I do not have the space or time to fully explain roll couple distribution theory here, but I do explain it in detail in my suspension seminars, complete with class notes. Obviously, changing your wheel spacing, taking stagger out of the race car and just trying to get your car more balanced where it is not trying to turn so much on its own. Messed that up.On added weight,CC Speedway made me add 280#s to my Scirroco so I added it under the seat and on the left side .rear.To my surprise the car handeled better.Open diff and street tires on a 1/4 mile hi banked asphalt track.Push was reduced and not spinning the LF anymore.Downside is it takes longer to stop.Lap times are better.Trick guy the 4M website has gone through a total makeover,how did you find the old stuff.Wish you had all that info for VWs,Im not a big Neon fan. Road racing, where slalom doesn't really apply, additional caster isn't nearly as effective. 10. Raise the Panhard bar by 1 inch to 13 inches left and 9 inches right. Must use one inch O.D. You lose more camber in the rear too!

Front Wheel Drive, dynamics and tuning using ChassisSim 22,379 views Sep 13, 2016 This video explains the dynamics of front wheel drive (FWD) racing cars and how to tune this using. (You can watch the first episode, where an ancient Rolls Royce gets turned into a drift machine, right now on DiscoveryGO for free if you have a cable subscription.). Robb was like, I still get comments on this article. If it can be made to have more resistance to twisting, the car will handle better. We must get radical now, but not to the point of jacking the LF corner of the car off the ground. This is how you adjust the camber and toe in the rear on the Mopar cars. For each type of car, we will set up for the six conditions listed above. Increase the rear steer by changing the angles of the left trailing arm. This term is widely used when describing a 4-link dirt modified right front shock or asphalt cars front shocks. We keep the low CG (mount the weight low in the car) to reduce weight transfer to the right side to help maintain left-side weight in the turns. The last alignment trick used to get a front-wheel drive car to play nice is rear toe. There are several adjustments that can be made to assist in loosening up a front-wheel drive car and countering the terminal understeer they commonly exhibit. The difference is in the grip factor and mostly deals with the level of moisture present in the first inch or two of the surface material. And yes, you can make a FWD car oversteer all day long if you set it up right. will not be allowed to compete. 2023 Motorsport Marketing. Now, to make an enthusiasts competition vehicle more able to maintain your desired competition alignment settings you need to solve that with performance suspension bushings. Photography Credit: Rupert Berrington. SAFETY EQUIPMENT: Rules apply at all times car is on the race track. Links for making a NEON faster, lots of this info will apply to any FWD 4 cyl car. (NOTE! Steering, braking, and power. The car will automatically brake the inside wheel, just a little bit, around a hard corner which has exactly the same effect as the left-foot braking. Mostly because, AWD cars, despite what they tell you about their symmetrical drive layout or whatever else, fundamentally drive like FWD cars. 4. Cannot be licensed in any other division and must be at least 14 years old. Note: Emissions exempt in California, Massachusetts and. http://www.mopartsracing.com/parts/neon.html. Heres what ACP has to say about how to drive the shit out of our FWD car: (Full disclosure: The following are ACPs statements as he ran through them with me over the phone. So basically, its right up our alley. Probably (because most FWD stuff sucks to begin with). I personally expect him to do quite well. Also read the old messages on this 4 cylinder tech link, they have a lot of guys who know both FWD and RWD 4 cyl cars,, so ask your question here or on the Spartan Speedway forums,, the michigan guys are alway willing to help. Look down at your feet. This is especially true on cars with MacPherson strut front suspensions. We can see how it is possible to experience a high 1.7 g's all the way down to a very low 0.7 g's in a single day. You might also have to grind a little off the steering knuckle to allow it to tilt more towards the strut. If you run a cell you can keep less fuel in the car and the foam will keep it in check to allow the fuel pump to keep a good supply of fuel to the engine. All tubing must be minimum 1.50-inch O.D. 5. Most of the racers are using the frame mounted fuel pump from an 88-91 Ford truck. In a nutshell, you could more easily sense the limits of the car with less caster, so while more caster might in theory give you more grip, the point at which traction is exceeded is different than where you feel feedback in the wheel or some such. The right axle is now a little short. Details. Setup-wise, the tendency is to tighten your race car up. To run a single setup throughout the day is not going to get the job done in this day and age. 4. The setup may look like this: LF = 350; RF = 325; LR = 185; RR = 150 (double the rear springs for the swing arm car); Panhard bar at 12 inches left. It's good to get tips from other guys and see what they do, but to mimic their setup and think you are going to have the same results can often be a mistake. must remain in the OEM location. Those days of running sideways are over. Next in line are anti-roll bars. Now if you head up North and go someplace like Learnerville, that's a track that can get slick! If so, your anti-roll bar setup is on the right track. As the g-forces change, our setups must change too. We need to maintain the downforce our car produces for corner speed, while providing some kind of bite off the corners. 3. And the one thing about these cars today is they need to be driven just about like they are on the blacktop. HS: When the track turns black, the surface has become hard with very little loose material. I'm unsure of his class but he did have different springs on his car other than stock. If the track goes slick you probably want to tighten it up. But McDowell and Hughes covered the topic so well we decided to move on to other areas that most often seem to trip up dirt drivers. The sooner the car rotates, the sooner the throttle can be applied. The disclaimer here (before I get totally ripped on the GRM forums) is that there are many ways to skin a cat when it comes to car setupfar more than I have space here to go into. 7. But heres a professional stunt driver, racer and rally expert who says differently. I've always been a momentum driver, so that plays a big role in to the way that we tune the car. Or if you are a three-wheel braking, you go to four-wheel brake. cars. The more parameters you can modify (suspension pickup points, roll centers, custom uprights and control arms), the less you have to trick the car into doing what you want. I would use a 1997 car and engine, install pistons from a 1998 2.2, to raise the compression ratio, OR have a 1998 2.2 and install the 1997 head and intake,,, either one will raise your compression ratio! Neon Will. This is actually 52-55 percent using the LF and RR wheels for the calculation. Most run a locked diff. Imagine drawing that line, out 45 degrees to the top left. Evo is a little different, and STI is a little different, but they all fundamentally drive like FWD.. If youre steering and accelerating at the same time, youre going to break traction.. 6-8 degrees of negative camber generally works well in the RF. Increase the Ackermann to 1 degree in 15 degrees of steering. Flywheel, flexplate, clutch assembly and torque converter must be unaltered, OEM for year, make and model of car used. If you have a track driven car and want to run R compounds, I would recommend starting with at least 2.5 degrees of negative camber up front. I too have been racing FWD's for many years and early on, the folks that did my initial alignments, a race shop in LA, set the front toe out, and the rear in, not a Robb suggests, rear out. and .095 inch wall thickness. If so, tune the brake bias to be neutral. It depends on what ratio you are comparing to. Gas tanks ahead of rear axle allowed but must install shield under it. Putting the large, flat side of a Late Model into the wind has a pronounced effect on slowing the car and creating lateral lift. Change the RF spring to a 750-pound spring and the RR to a 175-pound spring. Change, change, everywhere a change , a message from social protests of the '60s, could have been written in reference to dirt track racing. You're essentially shortening a leg of a table(outside front) and lengthening another (inside front). Now we have come all the way to the most difficult conditions we will see in dirt track racing. All cars must remain strictly OEM. At Circle Track we are all about helping racers find success on the race track. The previous link FOr NEON Mopar perfomance parts no longer list the still available 1995 to 1999 NEON MOPAR performance parts here is an old catalog with all the part numbers, springs, PCM's, etc,, C. Coil Springs ( they are only about $55 s pair ! and instal a racing chip in the computor, and run 2% Nitro in the fuel. LM: We definitely need to soften up the setup and introduce more rear steer to be able to negotiate the turns without causing the LF tire to be lifted completely off the track surface. HS: As the track begins to dry out, the surface will start to become black and a little slick. What else happens when the body rolls more? Aluminum high-back racing seat required. May use solid engine mounts or safety chains. Yes, you do have to be careful and make sure you carry as much momentum as you can through the corner with a Crate, but you also have to do that in the Supers too. . While it is possible to balance just about any weight/spring combination, it is far better to set up around known physics principles. Any other setup will put the engine over 6100 rpms and will cause the built-in rev limiter to kick in. No accumulators/accusumps. For that reason, it is very important to lessen the amount of steering input as early in the corner as possible before you start goingto throttle, which will give the tire a bit more grip to work with for acceleration out of the corner. BATTERY/STARTER: One 12-volt battery only. For Tech info on the 2.2 2 valve OHV engine GM Chevy Cavalier and Pont. The rear springs don't need to be stiff at all since they are carrying very little weight.
