Go Kart Chassis Tuning for Dirt Oval Racing

This is a basic guide on some of the changes you can make at the track to try and dial in your chassis. All of these changes should be used only after you have your basic set-up which includes setting toe end, stagger, camber and weight percentages. These basic set-up adjustments should be done at home while the week. Your chassis builder should furnish you with a set-up starting point. In time this starting point may change agreeing to what works best for your driving style, different tracks and different track conditions.

Mustang 347 Stroker Drag Radials vs Chevy Malibu Money Pit Racing

Mustang 347 Stroker Drag Radials vs Chevy Malibu Money Pit Racing Tube. Duration : 0.80 Mins.

my second ever pass on my 17" mickey thompson ET Street Radials. this time i lowered the tire pressure to 15 psi, and these tires are amazing to say the least. 60' was a 1.60 it went 11.80 @ 114.20 my best 60' all motor on 15" mickey thompson ET Drags is 1.54, im sure after a few more launches and maybe a pound or two less air, these will hook just as good as my actual slicks. oh my dad was in the other lane, his bottle got all cold from the long delay in between rounds (no bottle heater yet), so he ran off. 12.45 @ 107.76, his car has gone 11.9's @ 115 on the bottle (75 shot), check out my other vids if you want to see it.
