I'm still in the learning phase on sprints, don't actually own one yet but I'd like to have some basic knowledge of adjustments and tuning before I take the plunge. My background is dirt late models and I've collected and read several books on them thru the years as well as engineering and geometry, attended a couple of seminars, not to mention the knowledge available in the DLM Tech section on many message boards like 4M.
With sprints, there seems to be an absence of knowledge shared or available, I've only found 1 book from "Steve Smith" and neither of the 2 sprint car magazines I get have anything about tech in them. So where can I get some basic tuning and setup info on Non-wing sprints? Is it a closely guarded secret and I don't know the special handshake or clandestine password? Don't bother recommending that I offer to pay a team to let me hang out, there are no teams within 4 or 5 hours of me and zero non-wing.
I understand the basics of "spacers" in the rear and I know shocks(I worked for Carrera Racing shocks from 98'-04'). I also know that a lot of tuning is simply done thru different block heights, but tuning with torsion bars and when to do what, I dunno...
