[Land-speed] Sunbeam Suspension

[drmayf]

part 3

Total car weight with lard simulator = 3060 pounds
Weight bias is 43% front 57% rear.  To counter that I have added a big 
spoiler...

The last item was how much  the caster weight transferred.. While I 
could not measure the front wheels in the as turned condition, I did 
measure the rear corners when the fronts were turned from one lock to 
the other.

Full left turn    RR = 900 # for an increase of 30 #
Full right turn  LR = 900 # for an increase of 40 #

Does that castigate caster? Should we ban caster forever? Nah, YMMV, lol.

I did learn that short stiff cars are the very dickens to mess with.  I 
learned tha tI know next to nothing about setting up a race car for the  
salt. It can be a frustrating experience. I hope like hell that I am 
done with it, lol....

I do wan tto say that it rolls realy really easy. A one hand push in the 
shop. And that not much force applied at all.

Comments? Questions?
