    :rofl:IIRC this is the specs from the last time I ran circle track. Keep in mind this was a full float ford 9" conversion that we bent the tubes to get some caster and toe out of.
    Front: Camber 6* -7.5*
    Caster 12* 15*
    Toe -2.5" 1.0"
    Rear: Camber 3* -2*
    Toe -1" 1"

    The rear axle was also offset from front axle centerline to the rt ~4"

    There was more maths in that chassis than I care to try and do again. That and we were doing dynamic calculations for instant centers, roll centers, etc. with pen and paper now all that is done with CAD

    Here all we did to the cordova i ran was the front. But that was dirt track thunder class. Now i think its call late model. Stopped racing in the early 90s now its more about how much money can you invest. Before it had to be stock engine 2 barrel carb. Now 10k engine is nothing.

    Yeah the class we ran was limited sportsman. Had to use a front clip for suspension out of a camaro or nova or something like that. We also had to run 305s and 2bbl carbs. couldn't do a whole lot to the engines. Now those guys can run a fully fabricated front clip and suspension and 350ci engines. Pretty much what late models use to be and now late models are essentially retired touring series cars. Shits gotten wayyyyyyy more expensive to run now. Not that it was cheap when we ran. The rolling chassis with sheet metal was 30g when we ran now they are closer to 50g. But like you said the engines they run now are like 10-15g engines and when we ran you could build a really competitive engine for around 3g.

    If you follow NASCAR we raced with Scott Riggs, Timothy Peterson was coming up through the ranks, Jimmie Johnson was racing the Modifieds with the wings on the roof met him back then, We saw Jr from time to time for the big money purse races. It was fun back then. It's too much now.

    Sounds like you have an induction cook top - order one of those steel or cast iron plates that allows you use to use aluminum or stainless steel pot/pans on the induction top.
    Leave it on the cook top and then you can lift the pan off of it without the stove shutting off. Just remember, that thing will be hot as fuq when you finished cooking and will take some time to cool down.

    Ew.

    Edit: my dakars are the squeakiest, flattest leaf springs on the planet. The only reason they add lift is because the spring pack is 5" thick with the aal

    I looked into Alcan, but it was gonna be a bit over $900 for them to my door. Dakars were $550 to my door. I’m saving for Kong’s so I had to make a decision.
