I finally got a decent car together and just raced a few days ago. What a blast but I had no clue what I was doing, I just knew I was doing it wrong. The car will walk past people on the straight but I had no clue what to do with the entry speed. This video makes it all makes sense now. I'm gonna rewatch it a few time and really get it stuck in my head right before my next race. Thanks!
Best advice ever givin for fwd drivers. Seen veteran drivers make the mistakes you pointed out every damn week.! All dirt tracks should make first career start drivers watch this video. Few guys with big motors I don’t want them to see this..lol But you can sure bet I am forwarding this to even feature winners last year, because this is like gospel to getting maximum lap times.. consistent lap times. One thing many drivers don’t understand is that 1 bad lap may cost you a feature. And my input is PATIENTS if your running 2nd in the early laps of a feature. Show him/her your nose a few laps, and they will drop lower and lower until you make your move against the cushion. Thank you for sharing.!!
Great info for my youngest Son, who set fast time and finished 2nd in the heat and 2nd in the feature in his first lifetime start running outlaw 4 cyl dirt track.!
I do this on my 2000 Mercury Sable V6 FWD ENDURO car. With the steering wheel straight bring the left front wheel out 1/4 to 1/2 inch and air at 32 pds. On the rear adjust both wheels to the right about 1/2 inch , this will bring the rear of the car out as you turn. This will effect the front and kill the push that FWD cars deal when you turn into the corner. As soon as you let off the gas coming into the turn and the rear starts to swing out hit gas hard and the car will come around with the front not pushing. Shortest way is always around the bottom of the turn. I do most of my passing this way going around the bottom of the turn like a sprint car. Air : LF -32 RF- 36 both rears 28-30 pds. This works if you do it right , air and rear adjust is most important, play with it a bit to find the right adjustment. Wayne
Good video man, really helpful. Moving up from RWD go karts to FWD mini stock this year. Researching all I can before I hit the track that first time haha. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for the video helped a lot I’m a 15 year old and last year was my first year racing at 14 and never drove a car very scary time but love the sport and got me hooked!
I have been driving rear wheel drive cars and front wheel drive cars I got out of it a couple of years but next year I'm going back into front-wheel drive and that was a pretty interesting video I never really even thought about turning that wheel too sharp and what it does I know it eats the rubber off that tire real fast
Awesome video!! This is my first year racing fwd. I had one race last October at Charlotte it was awesome. I will be running at a smaller track this year. So I’m all about watching and reading stuff to help. Thanks for the information.
I’ve ran since last year and had a lot of good finishes up until I got in a bad accident and rolled several times and haven’t done good since. I’ve got a great car and I’m gonna try again tomorrow. Thanks for the advice! I’m only fifteen and I mainly get advice from my brother and father who have won a lot.
Wanna get back into 4 cylinder, I’ve raced brewerton and Fulton growing up. Hoping next year to get back into it and hope to get the money and a team and race next year.
Nice video was hoping for some more camber and caster adjustment data. Would you be able to make a video about that as well? Difference between left and right camber and caster. Thanks in advance greetings from the Netherlands
Are rule book doesn’t really allow for much adjustment for either. Not allowed to slot suspension points. I run about 2” of stagger which gives me around 3/4” camber.
I ran fwd on asphalt on a small outside 1/4 mile in a fwd car when I was 10 no practice won my first ever race. I ran a cavalier and following year the 2 door Saturn's dominate by the way we all found out on small tracks and big tracks dirt and asphalt. Saturn's Manuel trans 97 year is the fastest in a truly stock class I went from fwd to rwd 4 cyl 2.3 mustang type class running 12k rpms on asphalt and moved up to lateodels and raced every class in-between you can think of on half mile high banked asphalt and dirt any class you can think of I have ran them. This class is all about momentum. on a big half mile high banked clay dirt track we flat fitted in 4th gear doing a hundred mph. We never lift been years since I did fwd use your throttle to straighten car out fwd mash the throttle it will straighten out. The bigger track like I ran one ery weekend in fwd and we ran smaller bullrings with braking but big tracks wide open on high side and yes he is right about that spot in the steering g wheel that hard spot. In any racecar dirt or asphalt less steering input the faster you go
I run Eriez speedway in erie pa and stateline speedway in ny . Tire pressure rf with bead lock 20 -24 lbs 18 -22 lf both rears 27- 30 all depends on track conditions. Always 2 pound split between sides . Acura tl
If I'm correct Eriez doesn't allow locked front differential which will greatly affect the way your car handles through the corner as well as on corner exit.
Hey man, great video, so what’s the chances of me contacting you? I’m a new racer and I have some questions I would love to pick your brain. I won my first feature last Friday Arrowhead speedway in Oklahoma after four races. This video was my biggest help.
If only there was a wall on the track I’m going to be racing at... the only wall is the front stretch and the back and corners is a steep slide down and I’ve seen tons of accidents and flips happen by letting the car slide to high and your rear tires slip up and of and you bottom out the car and flips the car violently. Had a kid recently fracture his face and broke his arm due to this and sadly it was his first race ever. I doubt to see him in the track anytime soon. I’m on a big 1/2 mile track and I see people break hard for a split second on entry and like you said right back on the throttle and stay in it and you’ll find yourself at the top of the track.
We can get it locked in first gear and we can't in any other gear it won't stay in it if we put it in second it shifts in the drive I disconnected the kickdown cable it seems to be a little better
Hey man. i’m looking to get into 4cl racing. done a few Gocart racing and atv etc. where can i look for the rule books and possibly enter for next year. i’ve got a caged neon that a neighbor gave me, his son didn’t wanna do it anymore. I’m based out of albany NY.
This is my first year racing and I am in need of some help. If I could just get into contact with someone with a car so I can get pics or if I could come and look at the car it would be extremely helpful and appreciated! I have a pontiac sunfire I'm attempting to turn into a tuner race car. Any assistance would be gold. Thank you:)
Which way should you set the toe on a 3/8 high bank dirt track. My dads racing at Lauren’s county speedway in Lauren’s South Carolina, it’s also know as the darlington of dirt. If that info helps you any.
You forgot the best advice for newbs. Just drive like you do in Mario Kart. Dive into the corner and when you come out use the car to the outside of you to stop you from going into wall. j/k
I recently started fwd 2 man cruiser would this be a general guidelines to follow... For my class the car has to remain stock Minus glass,lights, airbag amd what not plus roll bar. So there's no real set up. You could buy a car and race that night if you want. Any tips for me? Turning seems to be my biggest issue i keep rolling tires off the bead
So this is my 1st year and my car is always sliding up the track and I always run into the people at the top it’s like no matter how hard I try to stay down my car wants to be up hitting the walls do u have any advice to help me not slide up track so much
I'm sorry I just saw this comment. a combination of tire pressures, hard spring on the right, put some rear steer in, and just slowing down more on corner entry should help.
Depends on the track. my home track runs hoosier race tires but most all the other tracks run Dot. I run Douglas walmart Dot 205/70-15 on the right and a 205/65-15 on LF. LR is the stock 195-60-15

That the car pushes in the corner we're allowed to add weight to the car when it help to put a little bit in the right front
if the diffs welded put the weight in the LF. I wouldn't put any in RF. if you can add any rear steer that will help too. What kind of car?
@@Raceking46 99 Chevrolet cavalier
@@Raceking46 do you think 50 lb would be too much to add to the left front
@@Raceking46 that's an automatic three-speed and the diff is not welded
We can get it locked in first gear and we can't in any other gear it won't stay in it if we put it in second it shifts in the drive I disconnected the kickdown cable it seems to be a little better
Somtimes they wey the track abit to much. fwd dont stand a chance either lol
To turn that wheel as little as possible keep the RPM's up
Good vid man

figure out which local tracks you want to run and then go to their webpages for rule books
I’m in cny and my main way of dirt driving is state forest seasonal roads what are some good tracks if your in the area
big difference between racing and dirt roads. However CNY dirt tracks would be Fulton, Brewerton, Utica Rome, Outlaw, Skyline, Penn Can, Woodhull.
Where can i find tracks in the hudson valley do you know of any do you recomend one for a beginer in ny
I’m in western NY closest I’ve been out that way would be Penn Can which is a nice little track.
This is my first year racing and I am in need of some help. If I could just get into contact with someone with a car so I can get pics or if I could come and look at the car it would be extremely helpful and appreciated!

Are you racing on dirt?
Through out some money is race
Fwd and awd are best for dirt
Which way should you set the toe on a 3/8 high bank dirt track. My dads racing at Lauren’s county speedway in Lauren’s South Carolina, it’s also know as the darlington of dirt. If that info helps you any.
We run 1/4” out
You forgot the best advice for newbs. Just drive like you do in Mario Kart. Dive into the corner and when you come out use the car to the outside of you to stop you from going into wall. j/k
Bogging it down taking the power down
i run a dodge neon any setup tips to help my handling
Watch part 2 🤷🏻♂️

a tube will help from rolling the tire off. what kind of car? can you run different size tires?
@@Raceking46 this next year we will run an impala yes can change tire siz just has to be a DOT approved tire
tips on if your car is plowing what seems like too much?
thats tough to say with out seeing it
So this is my 1st year and my car is always sliding up the track and I always run into the people at the top it’s like no matter how hard I try to stay down my car wants to be up hitting the walls do u have any advice to help me not slide up track so much
The track is a 3/8 of a mile btw I just need some advice
Harder rr spring
I'm sorry I just saw this comment. a combination of tire pressures, hard spring on the right, put some rear steer in, and just slowing down more on corner entry should help.
What tire size is good to use?, what tires you guys use in your class?
Depends on the track. my home track runs hoosier race tires but most all the other tracks run Dot. I run Douglas walmart Dot 205/70-15 on the right and a 205/65-15 on LF. LR is the stock 195-60-15
Tire pressure?
Depends on your car and track but I run 16 up front with a rf beadlock and 22-28 in the rear depending on track conditions
JUS HOPE THE NO RACE CAR BILL DONT PASS......WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM TO LIVE....OTHERS CALL IT RACING LOL
