Tire Wrap Up

Squirrell · 05-17-2014, 11:52 PM

Hi Chuck, we have tried several with 40" being the best and yes it gets loose at night if there is dew on the track. Have not gone any shorter , can set shorter and on the antisquat line. Wheelbase is 104" and crank centreline is 9 1/2" , car is an ex prostock Beretta.Not a lot of options available as pro cars generally run the intersection points low. Car hits the tires harder at 40" but we were running the pressure a little lower back then so I think we have gained a little . Car originaly was 49" and about 4 1/2" drove good but would not react. Car was set up with 45" and 7" last night.
Thanks Patrick.

My car has a 105" wheel base with only 49% on the rear and I usually carry 20-25 numbers in my delay box and have had as many as 50. Your bar is way short. Mine is around 56" and 5.5 to 6" off the ground. I need to look at my notes to verify the exact number, but I know it's around there. If your struggling to cut a light, you should also move the engine up. Yours is very low.
