Just wondering if anyone had any tricks of the trade when it comes to setting up a cavalier for a clay oval track. I heard someone say to keep weight on the left rear and the car won't push. As far as i know everyone is trying to do the oposite... get as much off the left rear as possible. What does anyone think? anyone have some suggestions on getting the car to push less in the corner on a dry track?

I run a 99 cav. So what I have found to work best on the car is to toe out the right rear about 1/8th inch. You can do this by removing the right rear spindle and shiming out the front by placing a 1 or 2 flat washers on the front 2 bolts between the spindle and where it mounts to the chassis. We also unhooked the front sway bar. I don't know about moving weight around, we just try to get every bit of weight we can off of the car.

when you start the race does it push off the start or after a couple laps if so your tires are heating up and you would wont to transfer alot of your weight to the left front so that the car will eat when the wheel is cut or set the front tow at 5 degress.
