One of the hardest parts of setting up a sprint car is not making the adjustment. It is working out which adjustment actually needs to be made. A driver comes in and says, “It’s tight.” That sounds useful, but it really isn’t enough information. Is it tight when the car first turns into the corner? Does it become tight once the chassis takes a set through the middle? Or does it only stop turning when the throttle comes back in on exit? Those are three different problems, and

In this post, we explain why establishing and maintaining a true Zero Point is essential for creating a predictable sprint car, making meaningful setup changes, and avoiding the trap of tuning around mechanical problems.

In this post, we explain why regular 410 sprint car engine maintenance is essential for protecting performance, preventing costly failures, and keeping your race engine ready for competition.

In this post, we explain the importance of ignition system maintenance on a sprint car.

In this post, we explain the importance of having a square axle in a sprint car.

In this post, we’re tackling one of the most overlooked but vital parts of sprint car speed: sprung versus unsprung weight, and how roll centres can make or break your handling.

Titanium rotors offer Sprint Cars lighter weight, faster cooling, and superior durability. Learn how they improve balance, control, and lap times, turn by turn.

In this post, we explain one of the most critical elements that influence a sprint car's performance: its tyres and wheels.

In this post we explain some of the basic aerodynamics of sprint car wings.

In this post, we explain tracking/spacing, and the effects on handling.

In the blog post below, we explain what stagger is and tips on determining if you have too much or not enough. What is stagger? "Stagger" refers to the variance in tyre circumference between the left and right rear tyres. This difference in tyre circumference creates stagger. Using stagger is to assist the car in negotiating turns on oval tracks. Oval tracks typically have left-hand turns, and the stagger helps the car make these turns more effectively. With larger tyres on t

In the blog post below, we explain what torsion bars are, front and rear splits and typical adjustments. The blog ends with a series of questions and answers we have been asked. What are torsion bars? In a sprintcar, torsion bars are a key component of the suspension system. The main purpose of a torsion bar is to return the car to ride height. The different rates do this at different speeds, which affects handling. For example, increasing the torsion bar rate can make the ca
