My car used to handle well, but the track owner started to put down chemicals to make grip on the track, and now my car spins the left rear tire when i get on the gas in the center of the turn all the way off. I run an open rear end, we have to run stock springs and have a shock limit of $50 and have to run rubber bushings except in the sway bar. AND we run radials 70 series radials. Anyone know the problem...i am wondering if it is the sway bar...what can i do??

Can you find a stiffer "stock" spring to put there?  By that I mean different editions of the car or springs that might interchange that are stiffer.  

If you put it on the LR it might keep the car from unloading it so bad.

if you have to run stock springs take one leaf from the right rear and put it in the left rear, preferably from the middle of the stack. have done this with great success

I have had results with going down on the spring rate on that tire. With a unlocked rear the tire with the least resistance will spin. You want the weight to shift back from front to the L/R giving bite to that tire.

Well the spring rule is pretty stupid. It now it says we car run any spring it just has to be the same size from side to side. I got the car to grip but i think my frame horn is bent up and the pitman arm is riding on the sway bar, so the car pushes now???? I don't no if pulling the frame back down and reinforcing it will help I guess im a little lost on where everything should be at. My cars handling was very ill at the end of the year and it cost me the championship. I posted a new discussion on what I have found out, so if i straighten my frame and run that lower front end, do you think that that would help the car?
