langley rookie needs help
Your car gets loose in the turns when you let off the gar because you are getting a lot of weight transfer to the front of the car making the rear end lighter. instead of just letting off the gas, back off a little and keep bumping the throttle. will help keep the rear from getting to far out on you. The car will push a lot more though, meaning the front will try to get away from you. Seat time has a lot to do with it also. Just have to get comfortable and know right where your limit is. I made it to the a main finals wednesday, but pushed a little too hard in turn 2 and started to slide up towards the wall. so I had to back off and by then it was too late.
thanks for all the feedback. This was only my 2nd time with this car. So I'm sure as stated before I get better with more seat time. I mainly wanted to make sure I was on the right track with tire presure and the shock settings....
I plan to do some camber changes maybe next year.
Again thanks for the info....... Steve

Yeah but a softer suspension will take care of that as well so u dont have to bump the throttle. make smooth transitions from gas to no gas like rolling off the throttle instead of just jumping off of it will allow the cars weight to transfer softer and more gradual.
Yeah take it from Andrew he has won and is getting faster each week. If you need good advice on starting out like techGeek said track and seat time is golden, or just find Andrew and talk to him he has some good pointers I'm sure he is willing to share or just watch other guys drive and see what their cars do then go up and ask them what it was doing and how they are gonna fix it is another good tip.
