Asphalt Foams. Its one of the best asphalt tracks I've ever run on, its worth the trip, and every year they make improvments that make it even better.

Jim, haven't gotten a chance to try anything yet. We would like to run rubber but not sure if they will hold up. Going to try some gas foam to see how it holds upPaul

It sure was fun to be back on the asphalt, Seaford really is one of the best tracks on the east coast. The track was as smooth as ever and the new lights in the tech and drivers stand area are nice. The state race is really going to be awesome.

I was wondering What does the center spring do for the cars handeling? And what does adjusting the king pan up and down do?

I was wondering What does the center spring do for the cars handeling?

Typically a softer spring will tighten the car = more forward bite (rear traction), car will turn less.

A harder spring will loosen the car = less forward bite (rear traction), car will turn (pivot) harder.

The key is to find the right balance. I try and go as stiff as possible until the car is breaking free then I go back one rate (1 lb).

I plan on making the trip for the 25th. I was just wondering if I could get a good idea on tires for 4c stock, and what bodies seem to be working best, and baseline setup. Any help would be great!!! Hope to see you on the 25th.

BigMike84
06-03-2005, 12:40 PM
Tires for Seaford are purple foams. And the protoform chevy body seems to do real well. Im not sure of a setup for 4 cell but you could ask any one who races 4 cell and they would be willing to help.

microman14
06-03-2005, 05:17 PM
purple is the best maybe a double purple front and the chevy HD body or the Dodge MD body is working.
