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:

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?

The road race guys are bending knuckles "often enough" (occasionally?). It seems that jumping curbing and contact with other cars can bend them (Mitch is reported to have a collection of bent ones in the shop (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).

I see. I just hope it bends the right way for some more camber! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I race at Douglas County Speedway, in Roseburg Oregon, btw.

It doesn't take much of a shot to tweak it. I've heard the "S" bend in them referred to as "pre-failed".
If track width and wheel back spacing isn't an issue, I'd attenpt to fabricate something more straight to span the 2 ball joints.
Also, you might look at Monte carlo uppers to see if you can get some more camber.

If it bends and you get MORE camber, chances are you were having a really bad day in the process.

What year montecarlo? do they bolt pretty much straight in?
