thank you. If you want to go back and check out my blog i have quite a few different write ups on our B mod we just put together. It took 1st place at world of wheels car show and we won a track championship with it last year, with 300 point gap between us and 2nd. :)
this body we are building is going on our A mod. It is the big boy that puts out around 600-650 ish HP at the crank
that is awesome. Do you guys race dirt or asphalt? We run on dirt but my father in law has ran an asphalt car before for a while. You should get your daughter into go carts, they race them a lot around here. I am serious though i have only been here a month but you will love my articles i have done if you love racing. I have one posted up about a wooden half mile track they used to have here in kansas city. Yes, it was made of wood.
dang 8. thank you. a little protip from my brother in laws kart racing days. when we would watch him he could never tell us what the car was doing so we put 2 big zip ties up like bunny ears so we could visually see if the car was tight or loose. made tuning it in a lot easier being able to see where the car was actually being turned instead of relying on driver feedback.
\ / .............like that on the steering wheel.
yep. we also have a saying for when we are trying to explain handling terminology
--tight is when the front of the car hits the wall first
-- loose is when the back of the car hits the wall first
--horse power is how fast you hit the wall
--torque is how far you move the wall when you hit it

I started in go karts at 8 years old, hoping to get our daughter in one by 4! I’m looking forward to reading your blogs!

That’s a sweet idea. Especially for young racers!
