What chassis are you running? What #s do you have now? Can you give details of the track?

sry if i didn't get back for a while, i been kinda buisy :), it depends on the class, some ppl run in there oown 1 person clases jus for =seat time, and don't worry, i don't need the question answered nemore, im not a rookie there nemore :) but in the division i raced in, only 3 ppl showed up, me and two other ppl, but in the box stock animal division, there where atleast 78-10 ppl


no, i cannot give u my numbers :) u race there??? the trackis a 1/5mile, i track corners are banked at 8 degrees, the straights are at 4 degrees, really fast track, i hit about sixty there, no let off full throttle all the time, i can't tell u numbers, but i can tell you wut should appear on ur tack, 200 F heat and abuot 6.0-6.5 RPMS if u r in that range, you are running good ratios

Get it on some scales. Try 60% cross 47% nose and 55% left side. I would go with 6# in right and 5# in left. Is your caster/camber adjustable? Rear track around 39"

Ive never been there. I race and build chassis! Im the builder of the Predator racing chassis. The #s I gave you are basic starting points for almost any kart. You just fine tune it from there!

you know alot man, you should try it out, work your way up to the stockcars, im trying to work my way up to whelens that is pretty much as far as u go unless you know some1 or have a huuuge@$$ sponsership, so the whelen is pretty much as high as u can go, i still am going to try to make it there though im not positive but i think we may have a predator chasis some
