This collection of technical articles from Stock Car Racing and Circle Track magazine will give the amateur stock car racer a guide to setting up his or her car for racing. This book taps into the weekend racers quest for a proven information about a stock car chassis set-up. With the right chassis settings, these racers can bring home trophies and cash. Without it, they will find themselves in the back of the pack fighting an evil-handling race car. The book includes crucial advice and information on suspension and preliminary set-up adjustment, weight balance, and castor and camber adjustments and it explains the critical factors that contribute to optimum mechanical grip. A vital reference for racers and an insightful look at how race cars work, this title will appeal to stock car racers and fans alike.
