Floater setup--yes or no

[GregWeld]

I forgot to add -- the more grip a car has - the more "G" force it can produce -- thus multiplying the weight of the car "side loads".... and I'm sure most of these big ass fatty tired cars are capable of 1 g +.... so now you hang that big wide tire - on a deep dish wheel and put it way to the outside of the bearing/rotor and it's no wonder we're seeing this discussion.

I thought we learned about LEVERAGE in the 4th grade??

I love Monday morning quarter backs. I suppose you are a Tebow fan to?

[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?

Oh that reminds me, has anyone tried this approach to solving knockback?

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!
