Hi Ed:
The circle track guys use shock-dynos and spring testers for chassis set-up.
Circle Track magazine has constant, good engineering, technical articles
because those racers consider chassis set-up as equal, or more important,
than HP. For that reason, I just recently subscribed to Circle Tract.
Unfortunately, I think most of the good articles occurred in the past year
or two and I have not seen anything recently or had the time to research
past articles (if that is possible). I don't know if Circle Track publishes
an index but if they do I'll bet you can find exactly what you want, and it
will be written in a straight-forward and practical manner.

From: The Weldons Subject: Shock and vibrations--Bumps, Suspension, Etc.
(snip. . . ) I'd love to see some real world numbers on vibration mode
frequencies, spring constants and damping factors for other car parts parts
besides the springs and shocks themselves.. . . Vibration and shock are
tough subjects to understand. . . . For all the books that have been written
on chassis design there must be at least one out there . . . Anyone have any
suggestions?
