3 hole jacobs ladder question

Blakesholders64 · 8/25/23, 8:07 PM

Can anyone tell me what raising (very bottom hole) or lowering (top hole) the jacobs ladder will do on a 305 winged sprint car? We have only ran 8 races with this king adjustable ladder but only in the middle position. Thank you!

Bottom hole lowers roll center. Hyper racing has some good explanations, even though it’s micros the same principles apply on these topics.

Hi Blake!
Raising the ladder (bottom hole) will basically take away your side bite. Guys only do this on tracks that are very tacky.
Lowering or spiking the ladder (top hole) will basically raise the roll center and increase your side bite for super slick joints.
Hope that helps Brother!
