Possibly/probably nothing, maybe a lot. Being I was at Mercer Saturday and Sandusky Sunday I can't place a value or relevance on it for you.
Because you were at Sandusky, you must have heard about the Dirty 30. Dirt cars on asphalt. Well due to your extensive knowledge, I'm requesting that you become crew chief for me. Take one of my cars and prepare it for the asphalt ! Whatdoyathink ???????

As it obviously shows I don't have extensive knowledge on anything. If you were foolish enough to let me do something like that you'd put a total toad and pig of a car on the track. I didn't listen much to the announcement. Now looking on the web I see it will be on a Thursday Oct 3rd. Unless something shitty happens health wise I'll be there. Let me know which cars you'll have there it would be fun to meet you.

Quoting the end of one of my previous post in this thread:
">snip< When you loose grip at the left and the right side tires are already at or beyond their limit, you have lost grip at all 4 wheels. Your left side tires have lost grip because you asked too much of them and since there not working all weight goes to the right and the rights if they were working even a little, now quit working. The end result is your in a 4 wheel drift condition.

Has anyone heard any updates on Tim Shaffer ? Other than him running his late model ?

I'm with Walt and enjoy not only a beer but my share of whiskey too.
You all with your back stabbing negative asshole crap are exactly what you spew.
I have seen Tim Shaffer all around the country 100's of times and had the privilege to listen to him on a couple occasions over the years from karting events many years ago to 410 racing. I remember everyone not leaving Hickory Speedway after Beeber usually won the 410, until the pay phone rang at the track with a report of how Tim did that Saturday on the road. Tim Shaffer is if not the greatest with patience and the know how to use what he rides correctly when needed and at all times, be it a kart or 410, one of the best there ever was and is in the seat of a race car. Cody comes from a great racing family. When I heard Tim Shaffer after winning an early race in their racing relationship how he said it's now good to not have to worry about what needs done to the car, says it all.
You all with your slime ball, ignert, signifying fingers need to show some respect instead of your sleazy up bringing.
And to get out of this thread I'm going to add the last part to the thoughts of how stuff works on the track and in this case thought about a 4 wheel drift when the track goes from grip or some grip to slick.
The last thing needed added to my thoughts about when the track slicks up and a 4 wheel drift was adjusted into the car because of the need to initially engage and use the left side tires more is repeating myself "the car will be going slower on the track". Yes the fix for a 4 wheel drift is still to do things to be able to use the right side tires more but because when you slow on the track the not so obvious thing which also occurs is because the car is going slower you have "less on track forces" available to operate your chassis. What's so often missed is the track goes from grip to slick and the left side tires are brought in more via adjustment which is needed but what's not done are things to make the chassis easier to operate because because your going slower, "there are less on track forces available to operate your chassis".
That was explained to me around 15 years ago now at Lincoln by a famous racer who became a racing friend when 410 were first putting the car tied down hard on the left rear shock rubber instead of having the left rear corner down on the torsion bar exclusively. The net of the conversation was when the track goes from grip to slick and a bigger left rear is put on the car, with how the left rear of the car is now being pretty much locked down solid with shocks what's the need to take turns out of the left rear to compensate for the larger tire? Isn't it the shock and not the torsion bar which is now determining what is 'down' for the left rear of the car? My questions were thought about and the reply which I then and to this day include in my thoughts of how stuff works on the track was, "yes, but when the tracks slicks up your going slower on the track and there are less on track forces available to operate your car, so turns are still taken out to make it 'easier' for the chassis to operate". Since then 15 years ago things have progressed from lock it down on the left rear and the work with how the right rear goes up and down to bump stops becoming involved in dual spring rates and left rear corners which are sudo locked down. A few years back having the same conversation with Fred Raimers former setup man, it was explained to me that yes it looks like left rear corners are still locked down solid but with the fast cars are not totally locked down.
What I wrote up until now was in general. From talking to some famous people over the last 15 years I'm adding and ending my thoughts in this thread about a 4 wheel drift and late models by saying I don't know what needs done on a Late model or big block modified to make the chassis easier to operate over to the right side. But the fix for a 4 wheel drift which has been adjusted into the car when a track goes from grip to slick is to BOTH do things to be again able to use the right side tires more AND do things to make it EASIER for the chassis to operate because your going slower and have less on track forces available to you to operate your chassis.

One thing I forgot is yes I know for a time along with the initial use of shock rubbers on the left rear corner how left rear ride height was fine tuned by installing different length shock heims. Maybe that's still being done today but after being told the 'fast' cars are not actually locked down solid on the left rear I moved on to trying to learn and consider shock rubbers brought in as part of dual and multiple spring rates. I suspect but don't know that Dave Blaney's car is not just about getting rid of torsion bars but also a designed in way to fine tune dual spring rates. I was told Dave's car is about having the shock in it's original position with arm lengths remaining the same. But maybe any more explained to me would be giving away secrete's, I don't know and will trust what I was told is correct.

Just saw on Facebook that Tim will be racing at Attica and Wayne County this weekend in a Haudenschild racing sprint.

Its Ron Gorbys car. They probably just have it at Hauds so Cody can go through.Just saw on Facebook that Tim will be racing at Attica and Wayne County this weekend in a Haudenschild racing sprint.

Oh, ok, thank you for the correction.
