I don't want to lose any speed, or unsettle the general balance of the car, but would like a little more front end when getting on the power out of corners, hence asking you guy's your weight secrets  |
Hi Shaun
I had both the front and rear Trishbits weights fitted initially but removed the rear one after struggling at Worksop with steering. The biggest difference to the steering i found was made by removing the option caster blocks i had built the car with and fitting the standard ones back on ! I found this by accident after not having a spare option block. I managed two 8th overall in round times after doing this and almost made the bottom of the A by doing so. Also my best result there too. Yours looked good mate, i saw you racing.
