ok tires are about 50 buck a pop for rim, host and cap so before i run a race i always check the camber by running chalk or a grease pen over the tires then i take 5 to 10 laps to see what wore off then adjust accordinly. but some of the locals take a temp gun and do a inside reading and a outside reading after a bunch of laps and if it more than 10 degrees differnt they adjust. just wondering what everybodys input is. i run a sportman and just bought a sprint. tires seem to be wearin good and the car is handling good. 50 bucks is expensive when youre unemployed. thanks

use your hand or wrist to feel temps along with the rest of us poor people:thumbsup:

I do the temp gun thing. I run a 5 to 10 split on right side tires and 0 to 5 on left side tires. Just my 2 cents. Sometimes 15 on right front.:thumbsup:ok tires are about 50 buck a pop for rim, host and cap so before i run a race i always check the camber by running chalk or a grease pen over the tires then i take 5 to 10 laps to see what wore off then adjust accordinly. but some of the locals take a temp gun and do a inside reading and a outside reading after a bunch of laps and if it more than 10 degrees differnt they adjust. just wondering what everybodys input is. i run a sportman and just bought a sprint. tires seem to be wearin good and the car is handling good. 50 bucks is expensive when youre unemployed. thanks

both for me, chalk line gives the quick check but the temp gun will tell you if you are over working a tire after several laps

get a temp gun. they are so cheap and plentiful now. not like when they first came out and were almost $100.00 mine was 85.00 if i wanted the lazer pointer it was between 95.00 and 100.00 . they are cheap now. if you want to get the most out of those tires, a temp gun will help keep them better , longer. Its a great tuning aid. you won't regret it.

I use a temp gun. I think it's the only way to go.

I personally use both. But temp gun will tell you if your over working a certain tire.

I prefer marker for camber. I can't forget a line that is left on the tire, which way adjustment is needed.

I use a temp guage and just saw it in the Tower Hobbies catalog for $27.00

Them $27 temp guages work fine, and I think I saw Jeff Davis using one of them. LOL

harbor freights has a real cheap one

That's right Shorty the Pimp paid 9 bucks for mine but only use it to check how cold my beer is

that figures u would :thumbsup:

Lol well I don't hardly ever check tire temps just look at it you can tell what it wants

They are a lot of us that are not that good willy. I need a temp gun but you don"t want to know what I paid for it. LOL:pLol well I don't hardly ever check tire temps just look at it you can tell what it wants

I heard that...i need a sponsor..how about it Brent? you want to sponsor me?

You mean that the free cars, parts and travel expenses aren't enough?

I think you are just being greedy. You should talk to Jeff, he seems pretty happy with all of his free stuff.

This is Great! Two birds with one stone.

And now that I've thought about, a 20+ year Buster Brown driver ought to be sponsoring me, I've got a lot of overhead. Or maybe J&M Stickers on the car. You two should get together and see what you can do for me.
