Stock Car Setup Secrets

Now you can have the chassis and suspension technology that is winning races right now. The information in this book is currently being used by top teams in Touring Late Models, All Modified Divisions, Stock Clip Late Models, Mini Cars, Road Racing Sedans and all other types of stock cars to setup their cars for asphalt and dirt track racing. Stock Car Setup Secrets takes the "guesswork" out of chassis setup. Chassis expert Bob Bolles, offers detailed information on all aspects of racing chassis engineering. Book jacket.

Don't just make it fast-make it state-of-the-art. Comprehensive and fully illustrated, this technical guide covers all aspects of setup and design for dirt track racing.

This book details how to design, build, and setup the chassis and suspension for road race and stock cars. Includes chassis dynamics, spring and shock theory, front and rear suspension geometry, real world racing aerodynamics, steering systems, racing chassis software and all you need to know to set you chassis up to win races.

Build smarter, race faster, win more.Covers topics such as airflow basics, cylinder head and fuel systems tech, blueprinting tips and techniques, camshaft theory, and selection.

A complete guide to setting up and adjusting the Dirt Late Model race car and 4-link suspension. Includes chassis setup and alignment, setups for all track conditions, and adjustments for common handling problems.

This invaluable handbook on the structural design and science behind the race car chassis includes sections on materials and structures, structural loads, a brief overview of suspension and chassis design, multi-tube and space frame chassis, joining ferrous metals, stressed skin construction, and joining light alloys.

The Full Course RCT book will help you avoid the trial-and-error approach to chassis setup. It will teach you sound, proven technology that is both easy to understand and easy to use, so you can set up your race car in the shop and see the positive results on the track immediately, with very little tweaking. What follows is a common-sense approach to chassis setup, vehicle dynamics and race-car design, founded on solid engineering theory. However, you will need to have an open mind, and be willing to accept new ideas that may go against previous chassis setup thinking. Just to make it clear, the technology presented here applies to all race cars, from quarter midgets to Formula One and everything in between. This book tends to lean towards stock car racing because it represents most of the world's automobile racing. But know that not only will be useful for all forms of circle track racing from asphalt types to dirt cars, a great deal of the technology applies to all race cars.

INTRODUCTIONI have written this book for entry to expert level IMCA Sportmod racer. Most of the initial information provided is just a guide and derived from talking with chassis builders, successful racers, conducting years of research, attending various chassis schools and our own trial and error at the track. Not all racers will agree with everything in this guide, but we believe in it and reading and applying the information will help you to maximize your racing results. This book will teach you how setup changes on an IMCA Sportmod will affect the cars handling on the track. There is no one change that will make every car fast, but understanding how each change affects a cars handling is the first step in getting faster and making it to victory lane. The key to being successful on the race track is getting your setup as close as possible in the shop, adjusting your cars handling to the current track conditions and then adjusting your driving style to maximize traction through all areas of the race track. The driver job is to maximize the limited traction a dirt car has on the dynamic changing race track conditions.
