Decoding Derby Lingo

[DerikX Racing]

We need a decoder ring for some of us newbies. I have been able to decode some, but others required some research.

Examples:

DFW – Dominate Front Wheel

CoG – Center of Gravity

Burnish - What the hell is burnish?

I know now, but it took some research.

Burnish or rub in lighty, graphite, polish, etc.

Patience grasshopper.....I all things will be revealed in due time!

when I look at the trash on my desk, I separate it into two piles, one is keepish, and the other is burnish.

Who is JB07 or JP07 Racing. The various "_________ widow" cars were buring up the track in the April races with that unique way the lifted wheel and fender are contoured.

Would love to see some photos of these cars!

That would be Mr. Bailey/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

Awesome! Thanks 5k.

Now all I need is a video explaining how this all goes together. I'm guessing moving that weight toward the middle probably improves stability of the car with aggressive COMs.

Thanks for the spell correct. What would chat rooms be without people like you?

Not correcting your spelling, correcting the terminology. You are asking what the abbreviations/terms mean -- and then posted one with a close, yet incorrect, definition. I was helping, not looking to win the internetz.

If you're going to bother to learn the term, you should probably learn the correct one, no?

LOL. I had to go back and read my original post. Sorry I just hate internet bullies “not saying you are one”. Sometimes my fingers can’t keep up with my thoughts.

Dominate is what I hope to do someday in the league racing.
