AAA's question was in regard to lateral placement of the weight. Should the weight be balanced on the center line of the car, or offset to one side or the other.
AAA: I think that if you are going to set your car up to steer (very slight bend in your front axles, allowing your wheels to still run flat), you might be well-served to have a little more weight to the side of your DFW. YMMV.
And, yes, those rules are rather poorly worded. "All four wheels have to touch the track." (Cool!, I can cant them!) "This implies that the full wheel must make contact." (Huh? Why does it imply that? The whole wheel and not just the tread??) "Therefore the axle must be in straight and the full wheel must make contact." (This sounds an awful lot like, "God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is blind. Therefore...")

If you measure 5/8" from the slot on the long end, and cut that off, that'll give you a bigger piece of wood to handle as you glue it to the other end. To-may-to, to-mah-to, really. /images/boards/smilies/smile.gifVitaminK said:
