Weight Transfer and Suspensions

Pat was absolutely correct and explained it very well.

Gary, I think you just proved my point. While CalTracs do work and work well on a good track (setting a record) and having to soften the rear shocks at slippery tracks. The problem is while the car may work well during the day, later the track will go away and then you are spinning the tires. Not good for someone that needs consistency run after run. Running a high dollar bracket race with a lot cars will force you to race under differing and unknown track conditions over the course of a day and/or night.

It all boils down to how serious you are about your racing and the conditions you will be racing under. A big tire 4 link car will be more tolerant of changing track conditions. If I only raced at NHRA division or national events I wouldn't be too concerned about the track condition. However if I pull into a backwoods 1/8 mile track I don't know what to expect.
