NPWDRL Championship Series March 2014 Race #2

Looks like you had a little wiggle on every run. Not as bad as the one you're talking about, but still some wiggle. Not knowing your staging, I'd say a little more steer.

 

[resullivan]

I do not do anything for staging. I am guessing he just centered the rear wheels.

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

I think the standard is rail for those who do not mark where they want staged, but QT, Kinser or 5kids would have to comment on that. Typically when it's rail your DFW is lined up just barely touching the rail with your rears centered. What was your steer? 4" over 4'?

 

[resullivan]

No. It was maybe 2 inches.

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

The best is if you have a test track to try different steers, but if you don't I would just go 0.5"-1.0" more steer

 

[Hogans Racing]

If you have no staging marks, the car is staged rear center, and daylight between DFW and rail. Thats what they told me when I first raced.

 

[resullivan]

My understanding that if you inset your DFW then you don't really need the markings correct?

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

If you have no markings they'll do the default staging.
