Maples,
You are correct in your statement that weights will remain the same"IF" the ride height stays the same. That is the key. If you change tire size only, ride ht. WILL change.I'll admit, only slightly. It might be a good Idea to also explain "corner wt".Someone may think that means "the weight on the corner of the car".Actually I think that term could be better described as dynamic weight. in other words,taking in all the dynamic forces on the track,during cornering.And Yes.. There are a lot of things going on in the front end geometry. It's nice to know all these things, but in this class where some things are not "legaly" adjustable, they can be a little confusing to the beginner. Most of the "street stock" cars have only springs ,tires ,sway bar, and a few caster/camber/toe adjustments to work with. There have been some requests for a book to recommend for beginners. What book(s). I would you recommend ?? I have read a several over the years. I don't recall any single one of them being "eye openers". I just seemed to pick up stuff from each of them. Going back and re-reading was the ticket. I do recall reading one about constructing an IMCA Modified, that had lot's of good stuff, (and a lot of dirt tech.)but that was after I had some idea how things worked "Basicaly". I don't think I would have gotten anything of value if that was my first book.As I recall Steve Smith Motorsports has a good selection of books.I no longer get the "flyers" from them.If you have any recommendations, pass 'em on to the board.
Dave
