What's the first thing you would change if you had a lack of mid corner grip?

Thanks,

I would move the front wheels in one spacer and see what that does.

Keith!

Hey thanks for all the help this past weekend. The #1 reason I bought an MBA from Tom is be in the "team". Look forward to talking with you some more in a couple of weeks. Hope all is well.

Raise the seat (i.e. raise the CG in some way).

Me too Gary.

What class?
What Kind of Course?
Sprint or Road Racing?
Two or four cycle?
Which end is losing grip, front or rear? (Understeeer or oversteer)

All these things, and more, play a part.

Could very possibly be your driving style.

When you enter a corner too fast, late, hard, you set up a condition that will probably require you to correct for the back end trying to come out. When you do this, the inside rear tire sets down, or the chassis unloads. This will cause the car to push or understeer in the middle of the turn.

Entering more slowly, read that as delibrate, will load the chassis and raise the inside tire thus minimizing the tendency for the car to push. Maintaining this "loaded" condition will keep the tire on the inside rear, light. Anything that causes you to "unload" the chassis will change the handling in the middle of the turn.

I know this is the hardest thing to change, but I think it's very important to making the chassis work, whatever one you have.

Good Luck.
