Hello everyone I need some serious help and guidance with midget set-up. We are attempting to run the Subaru powered midget again this year. It’s a older beast chassis. My guess between 2004-2012. I’m 21 and don’t know anything when it comes to set-up, except for having a understanding of how all the parts move and work together with each other. Here’s the problem.. my dad doesn’t believe in blocking. He wants to square the rear end at ride height. At full race weight, with me in the car. From what I read you are supposed to have the rear end on 6 inch blocks with everything disconnected except for the drive line and then start the whole squaring process. I have no idea what direction to move in. My dad is very set in his ways and thinks he knows everything. I have put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, we have gone through 3 motors.. yet we still have never figured out how to get this thing around the track. Car seems to wants to spin out, and always feels very loose, especially at placerville. I would really appreciate some guidance from someone with experience setting up a midget.
