Reverse rear rack

chris38 · 11/21/12, 8:56 PM

I was looking at a GF1 car and saw the option on the rear rack that you can unbolt the end of the torsion rack and flip them so you can make it a reverse rack car. What is the advantage of this? I know by changing the arm length its gonna change your spring rate but thats just the same as changing out the torsion bar?

Wing guys run reverse tube cars sometimes it makes the cars more righ rear tight

I sent you a PM with George Fisher's #. You won't find a nicer guy that will take time to explain things to you in detail and he is the one that designs all versions of the GF1. They are well engineered and well built cars!

I think it also lets you split the rate up to small numerical numbers by doing this. So for the great set up guys it's a fine tuning way of doing it. Maybe JMO

Maybe even Stacked Bars ... Old may become new again ?

I know GF1 makes a great car along with the Ti22 stuff. I was just trying to better understand the reverse rack theory and what it does
