Gang, The Renault powered Bunce Buck has developed a small problem in
otherrwise flawless handling at least at the speeds so far seen in the car.
At the Coronado race there was a flat out left hand sweeper where I may have
been seeing 60 mph. The car began to push (understeer) beyond my capability
to anticipate it. This caused me to have to left foot brake to reign it in
and this action did not improve my lap times.
The Details: The car is rear engined and I had to shorten the rear springs to
bring the positive camber in the rear into line. The front end is a little
higher than the rear giving the car an aggressive stance that disguises the
powerplant. I want to cut the front springs to lower the front end and put a
little more weight up front.
I worry this will make the front end even stiffer bringing on other problems
and make the rear end loose at turn in.
What say you? I'll probably do it anyway...................Cheers Henry
Morrison, Albuquerque
