I thought you guys would get a kick/laugh out of this. I built this when I first started building and I was trying to follow the rules that you had to have all 4 wheels on the car. The front tandom was off the ground.
My First Test Vehicle
- Thread starter The Iceman
- Start date
It could work, except for the downforce wing. A nice look with wing, but an air drag for PW cars.

Hi Ice,
Yes, I loved this idea when I first saw it on goaskgrandpa
This is rather a sophisticated design for a newbie build.
How many cars have you made?

I tried to count and I think I'm at about 17 workable cars. Thats not counting another 5-8 that i decided to scrap.
I never seen goaskgrandpa before, lol I had to google it. I like that concept of shocks/springs!
And I've never ran that concept wing car, so many things has changed since then. I had another that had a like a elongated sharks dorsil fin sticking up in the front. (probably 1/8 the weight) Now if I incorperate that into my new build would be interesting!

Ok. I had to google World of Outlaws and this thing looks like fun.
The car bodies are really cool for the "Late Models"
I see these front wheels canting all over the place.
What is with that?

Yes, Kinser, but that would have been Steve Kinser, any relation? I've seen him race live while I was crew chief of a 358 D.I.R.T. Mod, nearly 20 years ago.
Laserman, the cant on the right front wheel you see on the IMSA car, was there for alignment as the car made its way through the corner. I the idea was a negative camber down the straights but when the car entered the corner the negative camber would transition to a more positive camber as it was making its way through the corner to give the car an edge. The car was brought into a more positive camber alignment when cornering giving the car more bite with that wheel. The 358 class we ran didn't employ this tactic as our car was more tuneable than the IMSA car with other tricks in the chassis. I've forgotten a lot of what I used to know.

LOL!!!!!
Are you kidding me?!
INDIANAPOLIS (Dec. 11, 2013) – Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws (WoO) STP Sprint Car Series champion, announced today the upcoming 2014 WoO campaign will be his final season chasing the series championship. The Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) driver, who won the series’ first championship during the WoO inaugural season in 1978, is looking to join a long list of greats who have closed their career hoisting championship hardware. His final season with the WoO, called “Salute to the King,” kicks off in February with the DIRTcar Nationals in Florida.
This is amazing.
Wait a second!
Everything is now beginning to make sense!

Wow! That is totally amazing!
That must be one heck of a ball and socket joint. Right?
No wait! Perhaps that makes no sense.
Hold on! 358 class?!
You raced these sprint cars too GX?
With the wing on top?
This is the type of car I used to crew chief for and even raced at this track many times in Brockville, ON.
