Hey there i was wondering if anyone could help me out i've been struggling on a dry slick set up for a long time and im getting really frustrated. This is going to be my last year racing im getting to old for the sport and i would like to go out with at least one main event win its been a goal of mine that i just can't seem to reach. I race on a 3/8 mile with pretty good banking thanks for your time.

What type of car?(Sprint/Midget? Chassis make?) Wing/Non-Wing?
Type of engine? What part of the country? Tires rules?

Winged 360 sprintcar and im running a maxim chassis and i race in the mid west area under the ASCS rules.

I have to be honest and say that I have only a basic understanding of winged cars. I've had very little experience with them. I am sure there are many people on here that understand them better than I do. Maybe you could pm someone like Kevin Briscoe who is great in a wing car.

I am not sure who you normally deal with, but maybe someone like Scott Benic(Benic Enterprises) who has a bunch of experience and has been very successful with Maxim winged cars could help you. Maybe the guys at Keading could offer some advice as well. They are excellent wing racers.

If for some reason Maxim or the others I mentioned can't help, maybe you can explore other options. The Triple XXX website has many different chassis adjustments listed. Maybe you could learn something from their site or get one of their cars. They seem to do well in the 360 series. I only mention them because they do seem to try and cater to the different series with information and chassis adjustments and they win a ton of races with guys who have struggled in the past with other cars.

Good Luck for '09.

Well I don't know anything about wing cars but my friend does. Says your not
suppose too but he used the same ideas on his Wing cars that he did with his non-wing sprint cars.

So,

1) I recently helped a friend in a Micro. Track got slick so we raised the wing
a notch and back a notch.

2) Took the stagger out of the car.

3) Brought the RR wheel in. My friend who races Wing Sprint cars told me
to bring the "Wheels In", so that means you can bring the LR out as you
Bring the RR in. You could do the same with the front wheels.

4) I pretty sure you still would dial in some RR.

5) Raise the left rear radius Rod.

6) Look for the wet spots on the track. That might be down low next to the
burm or it could be real high. The Wet stuff looks black...lol!

7) Since this car is now dialed for LR drive, that mean your turns are short
and you drive the staightaways.

That sound like enough for starters...LOL!

Larry "O":applaud: and good luck. I'm kind of curious what others would suggest.
Don't be afraid now...lol!

Check your PM

i would do 5/3 shocks on front 1in bars in RF LF LR 1.25 RR BLOCK FRONT 2.75 bLOCK rear AT 4.75 LR SPACE AT 15 RR 17in from center of tire to frame, from the motor plate to the back axel 38 5\8 toe out 1\8 front end good luck

Bird cages timed at 88 degrees, rear radius rods in upper mounts, or just LR to get the car on the RR harder, increase wing angle (25-32 degrees)

Blocks: Front: 2 3/4" Rear: 4"

If track is real slick, raise back of car 1 turn, 2 turns into RF, 3 turns into LF

Shocks: LF~5/3 RF~5/3

LR~3/8 RR~4/6


Bars: LF~1000 RF~1025

LR~1000 RR~1000


Rear Spacing: LR~14 1/2"-15" RR~17"


Stagger: 10"-13"

Air Pressure: LF~10 RF~12

LR~4 RR~6 1/2

Toe out, not toe in.
