Is DuQuin the planned indoor racing this winter besides the C.B.? There a chance Wisconsin or something in K.C. again? Well, maybe not KC but just wondering, its a fun weekend to watch in winter timr.

If you have a dirt car, it will still work indoors. You will need to change the bars to pavement type plus springs around the 300 range. Set the bird cages for pavement pick up if they are combo type. Obviously you will need indoor pavement tires. You will also need a gear set in the 30's if you have a 3:78 rearend. For specifics, I would call Don Kenyon at 3K Racing: 765-482-4273

Stay on topic Don. This thread is not about set-ups.

It looks like he is on topic..the above person had a question of interest. Don Moore runs a dirt car on the syrup, concrete and Geoff Kaiser runs up front with it.
14 year old Adam Wilsdon was pulling away from drivers like Dave Darland, Billy Wease, Jon Stanbrough and more with a car that started out as a dirt chassis.
I was asking for specifics I suppose. How about the front axle? Seems to me a fella would want that car sling pretty low. Thanks for everything thus far guys.

That's kinda what I thought you were asking, also, don't see where Don gave up any secrets about setup, he was merely trying to give you an idea of the difference. Yes, you do need to drop the car down, all the way around, when you put the rear arms, in the pavement position, if you have those birdcages, you should also be able to drop the front an equal amount, some have a different axle, that has a 2" or so drop in it, I have rollers on mine, and I simply remove them, 4 bar car, on the few times we run pavement. No need for a "Black Flag", I'd say walk in his shoes! Bob:2:
