    I've been going to dirt races for 40+years and never heard or seen such well explained info.
    As you know most racers speak somewhat "vaguely" .
    Great video even for the Joe Schmo fan. 👍👍👍

      Thank you JIrry3 for watching, and you are correct. This video is usable info based on my experience and personal opinion on tuning these cars. All facts and info not lacking details or misleading and stuff I personally use for my programs. For the guys and girls up and coming plus the teams on smaller budgets wanting real usable info.

    New to dirt late model racing and I’m in almost a 20 year old car and last week was black flagged for spin outs but what you described I was feeling car handles great into corner but when I get on the gas car hangs out I’m bottoming out but im going to try shortening the rods to see if that can help I like the advice and will be watching videos to for handling solutions bc me and my dad are learning and have some help but for the most part are by ourself and I can’t find anywhere else for videos so it’s greatly appreciated definitely subscribing

      add 1/4 inch longer to lower right rear if you need more add more. You will have to drive it in deeper. A good thing

    Hi Dave
    when you talk about Bar angle are you set angle with car on ground at ride hight or are you looking at Diff at shock stretched out on chassis jack ?

    • @DirtTrackDave
      @DirtTrackDave  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Chris that's a good question. See when a racer get on my program or buys set up guide from me I help establish a good starting baseline, while logging where their at currently. That way always have a "restore" point if ever get off too badly or car changes. I as customers where are your bars? They reply, "oh, there in rocket STD, or it's one above, kryptonite STD." (Both good cars respectably)To me that means nothing, STD?!?! That could be anywhere in bar angle. So I verify correct bar position by angle solely. I do this in 2 positions, static¹ and dynamic ² measuring all my points I confirm they are as I desire for correct handling, having driver know what to expect and movement of torque arm and rear end. I will only accept confirmation of my list of chassis and suspension points only if measured and verified to be correct. Doing this you will be consistently better meaning a higher average finish vs if you didn't. My mindset and the mindset I teach my customers to have is, "never guess, never assume, hands on confirmation only". 🔨⬇️

  • @randyspc62

    Very good job enjoyed it dose it change ride height and if you change that do you have to change all 4 corners

    • @DirtTrackDave
      @DirtTrackDave  ปีที่แล้ว

      So changing bar angles on RR does effect ride height if the radius on chassis brackets doesn't follow the bar radius. Regardless, it's minimal if it does. I primarily focus of the LF, RF, and RR ride heights. The LR is the variable in height as that will change with changing extended load.

      Yes absolutely, same principles apply to dirt modified regardless if it's pull bar or lift bar.

  • @yhites
    @yhites 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So what are your thoughts on using the right rear to get through the center and rotate on the throttle? We have been dealing with our GRT with a throttle tight issue that you kinda touched on and we have ended up dropping the right rear upper bar 2 holes on the axle and it is finally turning through the center on the throttle. Our car has a very limited amount of holes on the frame side. We are starting to move towards a heavier RR spring also. It is starting to seem very happy now. Turns in great and stays up on the left rear, turn through the center off the throttle and then rotates on the throttle. We can adjust exit using the limit chain on the right rear as GRT has a set length from the frame to the axle and it says to shorten the chain in 1/4 inch increments to tighten exit.

    Have you ever tried the RR shock on the back ? My car is a 08 Mastersbilt and it has a shock frame mount for a behind the axle on the RR ,, it seems the bird cage would rotate and compress the spring and load the RR more ?

    • @DirtTrackDave
      @DirtTrackDave  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They use to back in 2000's however if geometry correct it actually cams away from rear mounted RR shock.

    What do you mean when you say take “rounds”out of the RR at around the 7:30 min mark?

    • @DirtTrackDave
      @DirtTrackDave  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Taking "rounds out" is a load adjustment simply put. Can't always depend on using smasher to get to the pound accuracy. By using the "rounds out" method (old school adjustment btw) you adjust load via rounds but should know roughly how much change it has. In heavy conditions "rounds in" is needed to keep RR from over compressing, which increases starting load and ultimately raises ride height and both bar angles slightly.

    When you are talking bar angles at about the 12 minute mark are those degrees at ride height or while racing. The 18-21 upper lower 3-6 degrees

    • @DirtTrackDave
      @DirtTrackDave  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is static bar angles at ride height or as would be in scales with driver. 3 for RR lower is still to low I have found. That's more my dynamic angle I try to stay around for semi heavy conditions say 3/8 mile tracks.

    I am wondering what the effects are if you raise the rr upper bar as to how it will index into the spring. When I raise that bar it seems to make the car tighter and not rotate even though I am adding steer. Do you think the rr spring is already to stiff?

    • @DirtTrackDave
      @DirtTrackDave  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When you raise the RR upper it is free on throttle. But can tighten you up slightly off throttle entering.
