Just for the record. When my car hops on a wrinkle in the carpet and kinda bumps the sweeper, of course I'm on full thottle, thats only like 2 thirds of the way down the straight. And even if I let off the thottle before I hit the pipes it still would be going about the same speed. But I do kinda see your point here though because crashes are always less worse when your not on the thottle.
How do you guys make sure your tweak is set right? I was told buy a guy at my track that you put a hobby knife in the exact center of your car at the front and lift the front of the car up. And which ever wheel lifts first you loosen that same sides tweak spring a little bit
. Or mabey I have that backwards. But anyway, when I get the two front wheels to lift off the set up board at the same time, the right side of the front of the chassis is jacked up about a MM over the other side
. And I can't figure it out. Also the back of the chassis on the right side sits above the bottom plate on the rear pod. But the left side is perfect
. I would really really like some help here. And if it is my chassis that's tweaked than that sucks because it's been that way since the first time that my buddy adjusted the tweak. So this has been confusing me for a long time, but I was just too stupid to not mention it for a long time
. Thanks for any help here.
