Lightning Sprint Starting Air Pressure

Where do guys start for air pressure D12 fronts & LR, SP-2 RR?

Try somewhere around 9-10 in RR. 10-11 in fronts. 5 in LR. You can always go down from there. These numbers are for a good heavy tacky track.

Tie something on your cage and ask to start on the tail>>>drive your same line every lap don't try to dodge the guys passing you, there job is to miss you so don't make it hard on them. Probably by the end of the main you will bee shooting for rookie of the year. These little cars ain't taxie cabs contact with another car can bring about un expected results. HAVE FUN DANG IT !!

Agree with DAD.... Hold your line and don't move back and forth across the track!!

Holding your line is important and something I've had to learn myself, but whatsat gotta do with air pressure?

Typical "dad" response, rambling on about random bs that has nothing to do with the question at hand.

Abyways,
We ran the same combo quiet a bit last year
Lf-12psi
Rf-14psi
Lr- 5-6.5psi
Rr-6-7.5psi

Of course the rears varied throughout the night/track conditions

If a guy is asking about air pressure he probably has a lot more other more important questions that he should have been asking that could effect his enjoyment and possibility of staying out of trouble with other racers. Air pressure is kind of like "A" holes everybody has their own idea of what is the hot set up is. That takes me back to the books by Steve Smith about the proper care and feeding of a Mini Sprint and by the way Scott Fasse has also written a book titled Mini Sprints 101 available on line. Scott has been in Mini Sprints almost as long as we have and enjoyed racing with his dad and him a long time ago.

Only real super duper racers go out and win their first race.

Sounds like there might have been a few of them at Bloomington last Friday night.

For guys thinking about no wings Steve and Jimmy Sills got together and produced a race book and Video that relates directly to Mini Sprints or D2 Midgets. https://www.ssapubl.com/productList....tQuarterMidget
