darnold- I am Dave S's brother. His car traction rolls at the end of the strait, but no where else. first we tried setting it up with more front camber, this helped, but it still did it on hairpin after the staight. In my 12LC, it did the same thing but was remedied by putting grey on the rear instead of whites. my brother is running Jaco purple/gray. he tried dialing steering out, this helped off the straight, but in the infield it pushed, or seemed like it since it did't have enough steering. so he just drove it the way it was, my car will do it occasionally, but only when I sauce the whole rear and go into the corners way too hot. so I told him to not to sauce the whole rear, but the car didn't act any different. my thoughts are that it might be the t-plate is too weak, since he bought the car used and the number of runs on it are a mystery. he has the angled blocks with 4 degrees caster, which is the normal setup around here.

I am after more steering in mine, I put in .016 front springs since I was running .018's and had a little push. I figure that this will make it more responsive, am I correct? I have done everything I can to make the rear stiffer, I am running a .078" t-bar and tried changing rear springs but tht made very, very little difference.

I finished 4th in the Mod A main! my car is dialed in the corners (besides the slight push) but just need to feed more speed to my heap!
