Floater setup--yes or no

[GregWeld]

Sometimes it seems it takes a lot of time for some of you to figure this all out.... I'm not sure we can live thru 3 more years of shock adjusting.

Maybe go out and buy a separate set of wheels and tires for the track events... and save yourself a whole bunch of bs..... But then I forgot the whole Optima argument about race cars on the street...

Just to be clear -- my '32 Ford has a full floater rear end... by definition...

The drive axle is driving a floating stub axle and thus only transmits the torque load...

By wheels and tires for a track day, do you mean something kind of similar to this


Or do you actually mean just wheels and tires?

Yep ---- You want to track a car buy a track car... leave the show car at home.

Want a perfect "race car" just buy a new $60,000 Corvette... save yourself all the hassle. I've beat on 'em for days at the track - no knock back whatsoever!

Yeah, that would probably be cheaper than buying a set of HREs and track tires for the "show car."

I await a come back Greg. Doug's thread still has tinge of relevancy right now, and you need to correct that!

[GregWeld]

Yeah - if he wasn't so cheap he'd just pony up and buy "another" race car... 3 '69 Camaro's -- Drag - Road race - and the Donk....
