Generally, you still need the chassis to have a little more front end weight to make it stick to the inside of corners, but finding this balance is what makes oval racing interesting and fun for a guy who likes to tune his cars. The best handling car is going to be the guy with the best chassis balance, tires, body/wing/air dam and suspension setup. Much of the same can be said about any type of racing. Start with chassis weight, work on suspension/thicker sway bars, lower ride height and even consider wheel offset to take full advantage of corner traction. In my mind Oval is won in the corners and the same can be said for off road as well. Just have to test until you find the fine line of being able to corner fast while also being able to maintain a straight line under power and still have control.

Before you do anything, get the rules for the class and study them closely. You may not be allowed to run a wing or offset tires/wheels. You may not be allowed to run a custom or modified chassis. Before spending money or changing much, know what is legal and what bodies they allow you run.

I plan to do this myself in the future. However, track is new and rules are not set making it difficult to do much except a wing and side air dam on the stock body. No reason to butcher the truck or spend lots of time or money until rules are established. Do the low/no cost reversible stuff. Sway bars, ride height, tires and maybe wing and air dam to get the fun started.

Hope that helps you get started. Please share your rig here if you can.
