Nah its easier than that, ballast the left side, by converting it to LHD, More fact than fun,ChrisJC wrote:Getting closer Perry!
Can you do anything about the obvious asymmetry in the launch, where the passenger side front wheel lifts much more than the drivers side. A torque tube maybe?

You dont want to do that, it is all part of a cunning plan to reduce friction losses , only 3 wheels in contact with the track, 2 driving, 1 steering!ChrisJC wrote:Getting closer Perry!

Chris.
Its more fun this way Chris
Since I tweaked the rear suspension I dont have to add much steering input on the launch now. Even though she is still cocking one leg ??
I forgot to add that I jhave a bad brake bind that we discovered on the second run on Sunday. I coasted in drive down the fire yp lane and popped it to neutral at about 10mph. It stopped quite quickly on its own??
I havent had time to find out which brake is binding though. I'll have a look over the weekend.
