The greatest thing about local short track racing isn't the tracks, aren't the drivers, not even the make or model of car or what engine is in it. What makeslocal short track racing so great is tennis balls stuffed in springs,heating a front axle and jacking it up while chained to a trailer to get caster and camber, it's cutting brand new tires for more traction.
Common you guys and gals, there's more than just a one liner comment to be made here...what's your story?
How about flipping the shackle on the left side (on a leaf spring to induce more wedge)
or cutting left front coil to lower and change front end bite
or putting moth balls in the gas tank --for a super power surge
we put a switch on generator to cut it out under race conditions -- And yes we used generators back in the day
we would take two rims and cut them so when welding them together you had a wide rim that you stretched a 760 x 15 tire on /with a tube so the footprint was bigger
welded a piece of slick rebar around bead to give the old rim strength and also to protect the tire
how about hiding a shut off switch to take the right front brake out of the system on dirt tracks.
or using a flex plate instead of a flywheel to lose weight and gain faster rev's.
The authorities in Dover, England don't take too kindly to tennis balls replacing the spring itself! Sounds like a Russian trick.
Police at Dover Docks nab driver who replaced suspension with tennis balls
A driver who decided to save money by replacing his suspension springs with tennis balls has been fined.
The Opel Vectra was stopped at Dovers Eastern Docks and inspection by Port of Dover police officers revealed the stack of balls where the springs should have been.
On September 4, the case was heard at Folkestone Magistrates Court and Rumen Petrov, 34, from London, was convicted in his absence for using a vehicle with equipment likely to cause danger or injury.
He was fined 350, ordered to pay 50 costs and a 15 victims surcharge. His licence was endorsed with three penalty points, and he was fined 175 for a lighting offence.
Clearly the effectiveness of the vehicles suspension system had been significantly compromised and posed a very real risk to the driver, and other motorists, said Inspector Neil Care.
Petrov intended to drive to London and taking his vehicle off the road has no doubt contributed to road safety, not just within the port but throughout the south-east.
