hi

I joined up last week after hearing some glowing recommendations from other FBody owners, so I thought I'd introduce myself!

I race 1/2 mile oval tracks and just moved up to a real racing class from the quasi-demo derby class I used to be in. I thought I'd do something different and used a 4th gen FBody. Getting this car setup has been a challenge, since noone else races a car even kind of like mine at our track, so I've had to forge my own way with the setup. Anyway, heres a pic of the car:
(IMG:http://nickpc.brinkster.net/racing/ss/q.jpg)

and check the link in my sig for more pictures of that car and my other cars (even the jump car gets a page!)



I look forward to contributing what little I know about 4th gens and absorbing all I can!

btw, any other circle track racers on here?

Good luck and let us know how you do.

I bet the biggest limitation you will have is getting enough camber in the right front.
Also, I imagine the hubs and knuckles will take a beating.

But it ought to be a pretty solid platform.

Look at Hellwig's adjustable rear sway bar to help get the car to rotate in the middle of the corner.
These cars push like lawn mowers out of the box.
